Copyrights, Licenses and CDDL Illustrated

I just read this article describing the differences between some of the common open-source licensing models there are out there.

This resonates with me since we're in the middle of the process of understanding what it means and takes to open-source our work at Sun. Whilst I've already done a lot of open-source work in the more distant past, being a founder of the mklinux project (the first port of linux to the PowerMacs, running on top of the Mach microkernel I originally ported, which is now used in MacOS X and available via Darwin), things have moved on a lot since then!

Licensing is a complex domain, the article makes things very clear. Thanks Chandan!
