Sun's still trying to straddle the fence. They should junk their CDDL and just go with the GPL if they don't want their code "taken proprietary" by some other entity (e. g. Microsoft or Apple). Then, folks like myself would feel much better about contributing any efforts to their projects. Sun should follow Red Hat's example; Red Hat has already GPL'd most of the former Netscape Directory Server code and is GPL'ing the rest of it soon. Heck, Sun should follow *it's own* example of OpenOffice.org! They LGPL'd that software.
For now, I personally will stick with GNU/Linux and *BSD. I simply am not turned on by Sun's half-hearted efforts at freedom in this case.

I don't see the point, given GNU/Linux and *BSD
