i thought this was still in the discussion stage, but apparently not. interesting.

"That there is little, if any, benefit to dual-licensing OpenSolaris with CDDL and the yet to be approved/upcoming GPLv3 license - aside from possible short term good press for the project." - 'if any'? and i'm supposed to take this seriously?

thread 1 on OpenSolaris & GPLv3

thread 2 on OpenSolaris & the GPL; some legitimate questions being asked, but a whole lot of unnecessary anti-GPL rhetoric, IMO

"Take the GNU Userland, which is an interesting piece of technology that Sun is looking at closely, and we may do something similar with, say, a container flavor," he said. - no secret, i'm a big fan of this approach

Mike's take on the recent Java news; a bit pessimistic, but some useful feedback - we'll see what happens

interesting progress report on porting DTrace to FreeBSD; that's possible, incidentally, because of the CDDL / BSD license compatability (via Simon)

the Q&A format continues to take the world by storm ;)

Donnie (a Gentoo dev) is psyched about the possibility of a GPL'd OpenSolaris

Jason weighs in on Ian's Debian/Nexenta GPL/CDDL post

great, practical piece on Nexenta

Jeff's practical take on Solaris and the CDDL; i'm always a fan of pragmatism

Luis' not a big fan of the CDDL, apparently

Bryan, Claire or Jim - you may want to comment here: "D-Trace looked really useful but at the moment is Solaris only and what I heard was intentionally made GPL-incompatible"

Matusow linked to this for the perspective on proliferation, but i'm far more interested in his change of tack vis a vis the CDDL

Ben's response to Steven Vaughan-Nichols

sure, control's an issue - but it's the same deal for all of the dual licensees

PHP core dev contributing code to...Solaris?

i should be pleased about this, i suppose, b/c if we're going to have DRM, it might as well be open source (and thus workaroundable), but DRM just isn't necessary (yes, i know the RIAA and MPAA think it is, but talk to emusic.com)

Stallman weighs in on the CDDL; interesting

older post proposing a Debian / OpenSolaris combo

Dtrace on FreeBSD? wow, i thought Sun didn't get open source ;)

what do you really think, mrdeviant :) amusing take on some of the recent GPL statements by HP's Fink - check out the HP open source projects link tho, that was interesting

interesting thread on the implications of copyright assignment (via Jim)

interesting: CA considers the CDDL

some dissent within the Gentoo ranks vis a vis Sun and the CDDL

Eric Raymond's thoughts on Open Solaris (via Grisanzio)

more on the Sun patent grant/CDDL/OpenSolaris issue

Stallman on Sun's recent patent opening under the CDDL

interesting news if true

great piece by senor shankland from the intrepid News.com crew - highlights issues and concerns around open-souring of Solaris

will this be the open-source Solaris license? (via Shankland/News.com)
