Just leave the real explination and put "Install this to fix the problem" at the bottom of the page for the idiots.
No, you put the fix at the top of the page to minimize confusions for the idiots.
I can't be the only one that is tired of the psuedo-elitist attitude that I see here with regard to people that are not adept with computers.

It's not the 90's anymore, guys. Being able to use a PC effectively is about as awe-inspiring as being able to use a toaster effectively.
"Au contraire," you might say, "they come to ME for help to fix their broken Windows boxen! I have power and respect!" Perhaps you even work in Technical Support, and HUNDREDS of stupid lusers call you for help!
Much like how people call the janitor with the toilet gets clogged up.

"General Grievous was developed for Episode III as a powerful new villain on the side of the Confederacy. The initial instructions that Director George Lucas gave the Art Department were very open-ended: "a droid general." From that vague direction, the artists developed a lot of explorations, some purely mechanical, some not, for the look of General Grievous."

"What about dual licensing? Can I license my code under the CDDL as well as another license?
Yes, if you are the copyright owner for the code you can choose to license under multiple licenses, including the CDDL."
Eric Schrock, a developer for Sun, posits his opinions on why the GPL would not be a good fit for Sun.
"Say I post an example of a function foo() to my website. Oracle goes and uses that function in their software. They make no changes to it whatsover, and are willing to distribute that function in source code form with their product. If it was GPL, they would have to now release all of Oracle under the GPL, even though my code has not been altered. The consumer's rights are preserved - they still have the same rights to my code as before it was put into Oracle. I just don't see why they have a right to code that's not mine."
"Can code licensed under the CDDL be combined with code licensed under other open source licenses?
CDDL is file-based; that means that files licensed under the CDDL can be combined with files licensed under other licenses, whether open source or proprietary. However, other licenses may have different restrictions which may prevent such combination; be sure to read and recognize those."

On a related note, the debate over violence and the demon weed also continues unabated.

From the Star Wars Databank:
"General Grievous was developed for Episode III as a powerful new villain on the side of the Confederacy. The initial instructions that Director George Lucas gave the Art Department were very open-ended: "a droid general." From that vague direction, the artists developed a lot of explorations, some purely mechanical, some not, for the look of General Grievous."

Also from the FAQ:

I think his argument holds weight.

So, it might be better to say the GPL is be incompatible with the CDDL. No fault in the design of the CDDL.
