I know you are aware that Groklaw was asked to provide input on the CDDL license, among others, and marbux and I will be writing about that with more particularity later. There are complex issues that flow from the Microsoft factor. I tried very hard to argue the case for the GPL.

what say you now?
anyone else want to tell me how stupid i am and how i dont know what i am talking about
this is what i warned about months ago
the DANGER is HERE NOW
you have a petty person ,who takes revenge in sneaky underhanded ways influencing code decisions.

Sun's response to our input was, I have to say, surprisingly positive. They did make changes to wording to address most of our concerns. They did take seriously your comments here on Groklaw. It's clear that they do want input from the community and are desirous of learning from past mistakes in that area.

Too bad PJ hasn't learned that lesson with her own little "community".

The only good thing about PJ is that she is most dangerous to herself. Anyone who has a clue who spends any significant time on her blog will quickly come to realize that she doesn't quite "grok" open source, much less the GPL, when it comes to her own little blog. The walk does not quite jive with the talk.

You're not influencing "code decisions" in any way.

Neither are most of your collaborators here.

Can any of you constructively critisize CDDL, GPL or any other license for copyright materials? Doesn't seem like it to me.
