i think it's a Good Thing because it's important to the community. talking about something like this is the process that communities go through to better understand their shared values. in time the discussion will die down. i suspect what wearies most folks is the reactionary commentary that some people bring to the discussion. hypothetically, if the linux kernel didn't exist, who here would support opensolaris being gpl'd (assume gplv3, *not* dual-licensed, and no existing CDDL dependencies)? if you wouldn't support it what are the top two reasons you think the gpl would be problematic for opensolaris (same above assumptions apply)? peace, david _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
