[Fsf-friends] Reg. OpenSolaris

[Anand Babu]

OpenSolaris's CDDL 1.0 is similar to Mozilla public license.
They both are Free Software licenses but GPL incompatible.

My personal opinion:
I hate GPL incompatible licenses.  Because you cannot use their
source  in your GPL project and  even worse you cannot even link
to their library.   GPL incompatibility results in duplication of work.
But they are at least better than proprietary licenses.
