too little, years too late, with a license few

know if any of us really understood the full implications of the GPL for
kernels back then -- both positive and negative.
The Sun employees have been asked whether they would support the BSD license
and many of then said that they will terminate their contract if Sun uses BSD.
The GPL cannot be used as it is far too limiting.
I am happy with the license - the problem you may have is FUD against the CDDL
spread by the FSF...
