or better lets let FSF and SUN lowers to decide :-) I hate these legality stuff... CDDL is a good open source license and "blessed" by R.S. CDDL is more sutable for todays world. Sun made a clever decision to use it for its kernel and runtime. This opens window for HW vendors to contribute their drivers to the GNU-based system. CDDL is file based, while GPL is project based. But yes, GPL is more restrictive than CDDL. Erast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
