Random thoughts of a disorganized mind...
(and though it should be obvious, while Sun pays me to think about things, they disclaim any responsibility for these thoughts, nor do I claim what I say matches in any way what Sun thinks)

OpenSolaris gives cuddletech name a whole new meaning...
“Sun offers open source Solaris snack pack” is The Register's contribution to the many stories about the OpenSolaris site launch today. In it, they note that people have taken to pronouncing the license's acronym CDDL as “cuddle.”
Curiously, one of the participants in the OpenSolaris pilot program runs a site named cuddletech - which seems like a perfect name for discussing technology released under the “cuddle” license. Of course, the domainname was registered in 1999, so there's no way Ben could have known the additional future signifance his domainname would acquire . . . or did he? We may never know . . .
