What could be done is informing people about the backgrounds.
Debian still did not update star (which is 100% CDDL) and Debian people
did claim that there is a problem with cdrecord although cdrecord went
100% CDDL in May 2006.
As long as I am the only person who informs people about the fact that
Debian is no longer "kosher", people will mobb me..... If other people
understand the problem and inform others, it would be harder for Debian to
attack me and also OpenSolaris (note that that Debian tells people that the
problem is that I am supporting OpenSolaris...).
