If you pull OpenSolaris under the CDDL, then you can only combine it
with other GPLv3 projects in exactly the same way you can today. For
example, you can have GPLv3 apps, but you won't be able to add GPL to
the kernel. Dual-licensing doesn't help you with this particular
example, but it doesn't make things worse either.
Perhaps, but as I said elsewhere. There's a whole lot of discussion of what
this may or may not make worse. I've seen little discourse regarding what
it may *improve* other than vague pieces of speculation.
It seems obvious to me that this has been discussed on the inside at various
points, and that the idea, quite clearly, has its proponents, I'm obviously
missing where the advantages that are seen are being stated.
So, to lay it out:
What do people believe this would bring to us that would actually be
beneficial, (rather than not being actively detrimental)?
