Why, why, oh why did they do that? Bad Sun, very, very bad. As much as I like the GPL this flaunting of sweet technology morally isolated from all GPL'd software by legal decree is almost enough to make a man shirk his principles. "We're Sun and we've got the CDDL. GPL? We don't want no GPL. We want a ponderous rift in the open source community." It's not about the licenses, duh, it's about the code. It's about being able to stand on giants' shoulders. Justin -- Wir müssen wissen.
