CDDL Project Leader on the CDDL

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the plus-it's-cool-to-make-new-licenses dept.

SunFan writes "Claire Giordano, Sun's lead on CDDL development, gives the inside story on how the new license was developed. She discusses how people within Sun debated the various licenses, including the GPL, and shows why the GPL, BSD, and MPL licenses were found to come up short in meeting the needs of Sun's broad customer and developer base."

    The license may be opensource, but Sun sure as hell isn't, they sold java to M$ for chump change for fucks sake, that small amount of cash isn't going to make a difference, even to a company falling as fast as Sun, its clearly indicative of a greater plan to retake the Unix world. Sun is very clearly anti-open-source, after all they are Sco's secret licensee.
