Allow me to quote a couple of BS statements from that article: #1 "Sun released some of the code from Solaris but under a licence which was somewhat restrictive when compared to the GNU General Public Licence." The truth is, CDDL is less restrictive than GPL. That's why it's not compatible with GPL. Because CDDL is not restrictive enough to satisfy GPL's over-reaching copyleft. CDDL grants too much freedom to be compatible with GPL. #2 Nearly six months after it completed the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle Corporation is yet to make a public statement about the future of the OpenSolaris project. Everybody knows about public statements such as "next release H1 2010" etc. Although it's a negative thing that this expectation wasn't delivered ontime (still waiting), it's simply false to say there was never any statement. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
