From time to time I grab a diferent OS to install and try my hands at
it. This time was OpenSolaris. The thing is, at some point in the
install, OpenSolaris throws a license at my face that doesn't seem open
at all. I can run the software, but I can't redistribute, copy, etc. I
am no law expert, but that license doesn't seem really open or free.
As far as I could tell, at least grub and (a javified version of) gnome
are free, and OpenSolaris is using it. Maybe it uses other free
software. So, doesn't that license conflicts with the gpl?
Its not to flame Sun, I know the company has contributed a lot with the
community, and many folks respects them. Just trying to get things clearer.
