The CDDL is like LGPL but on a per-file basis. Any changes made to a CDDL file will remain CDDL, but any other files or code is not affected. It's 100% usable by FreeBSD or Apple.
Remember when CmdrTaco called wikipedia a fad and said they couldn't scale? It was during the last (only?) slashdot IRC "interview" a few years back. Just before wikipedia overtook/. in traffic.
And, taking apart your surely knowledgeable opinion, what part from either GPLv2 or GPLv3 would make such "bug fixes or improvements made to the code" unaccesible to Sun?
If sun releases ZFS under GPL, any 3rd party modifications will also be GPL. Sun can't integrate it back into (CDDL licensed) Solaris due to the viral nature of the GPL. The CDDL doesn't have a viral problem.
But, why I'm wasting my time with somebody that calls himslef "bagina"?
It's fairly trivial to embed WebScript/kjs. It's not terribly difficult to embed the mozilla/spider monkey interpreter either. It comes with a command-line javascript shell.
"Spider Monkey" is the mozilla/firefox javascript implementation. I read screaming as "kicking and screaming" -- ie, IE will get javascript 2 whether they want it or not.
Why would they want to? Under the CDDL, *BSD, Apple, Microsoft, (pretty much everybody except linux and HURD) can use the ZFS code without being virally infected. Sun gets back any improvements and bug fixes.
Under the GPL, Sun can't enjoy any bug fixes or improvements made to the code.
Debian is run by volounteers in their spare time. They have other commitments and it may take a couple days before they have time to fuck up the source code with new vulnerabilities.
plenty of people have been modded down over a nice glass of fristy piss, though. On any given day, there's probably half a dozen people bragging their frosty piss on slashdot.
Pull out your calculator and critical thinking skills for 5 minutes. 1 barrel of oil (42 gallons) currently costs ~$130. That's refined into ~42 gallons of other stuff (~20 gallons of which is gasoline), which puts the raw cost of gasoline at ~$3.10/gallon. If mexico is selling it for $2/gallon, it's because they're not buying oil on the open market (Mexico has nationalized oil reserves). Let's do what mexico does = nationalize oil companies and drill the oil in our backyard.
I guess you don't realize it, but POV-Ray is not FREE (as in GPL) software. While it is free (as in beer), users are denied fundamental human rights that the GPL enforces. Using and advocating POV-Ray is counterproductive.

$24,000. What kind of dirt is that?
"Everybody should share. That's why I won't share with you".
Why don't you ride the bus? You wouldn't need to even think about steering at all!

ZFS is Open Source and has been since November 2005.

"Enterprise" means you don't blindly install updates on day 0.
It is illegal call up someone within 60 days prior to an election and criticize John McCain.

Not that most people here would know, but a carpet bomb is when you're going down on a girl and discover some other guy's cream pie.

What happened to backslash?
Apple should abandon their kernel and just use linux. I mean, Linux has rock solid dtrace and zfs ... oh, nevermind.
That would be before taxes.
FICA/Social Security Pyramid tax: ~7.5%
Federal income tax: ~18%
State inome tax: 0--10%
At that range in California, state income tax is ~8%, so that salary means ~58,000 at most.
OSS: You run the software you want to run, according to your business interests.
Want to run Linux 2.0 (not that you'd want to)? Sure no probs.
According to my business interests, I want to run Windows.
eh, just control-C to abort. If that doesn't work, try a kill -9 months.
they freak out everytime they miss a period.
during world war II, the US army used liquified coal. The US has large coal reserves.
Not likely. But it'd probably give you flatulence of unprecedented proportions.
CowboyNeal has prior art on THAT.
