that’s whacked

theo’s response to the dual licensing gpl/bsd controversy

Saturday, Sep 1. 2007  –  Category: OpenSolaris, OpenSource

it was interesting to read theo’s response. my first thought was “wow… he was totally not inflammatory and incensed”.

anyway, he had some interesting points - some of which we (OpenSolaris) might want to keep in mind as we think about future licensing directions.

more interestingly he drew the conclusion that the BSD community was (is?) at as much risk of being locked out of future changes by the GPL community as they are from the commercial/proprietary community (if not more).
