I just discovered the name again: The lady that was in the teleconference has
been Claire Giordano.

FYI, I watched the video you referred to (my daughter having woken up) and Simon's comments seem to be in direct contradiction of your earlier statement. The relevant comments start at around 35:30, and he says that the Sun engineering community pretty clearly favored a BSD-style license. He mentions that trying to use the GPL would have pushed out their timeline by several years. The ``you do that and we quit'' comment (around the 38 minute park) was quite clearly in response to using GPL for OpenSolaris.
