I would love a viable Debian-based Solaris system, and I think it's absolutely wonderful that we have so much software available under free licenses. But the CDDL/GPL issue is a big one, and it needs to be resolved in a way that doesn't leave people feeling like their code is being misappropriated. Pushing out CD images despite these concerns being raised isn't a good way of inspiring trust and cooperation, and the fact that these concerns still haven't been answered in an even vaguely coherent way doesn't reassure me at all. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
