Wednesday July 13, 2005 CDDL Reflections
Jim Driscoll (who is the mastermind behind Glassfish) has obviously got his competitors spooked because they are saying crazy things in public - in particular Bill Roth (ex-Sun, now BEA) is quoted as telling a straight lie (that CDDL is not real open source), I hope it's a misquote. As Claire commented on Jim's posting, we heard it all before when we used CDDL for OpenSolaris so I thought I'd collect my postings about CDDL here for easy reference:
- On the patent clauses of CDDL: 'Father of Method Patents' Slams CDDL
- On the blanket patent grant: Zero Tolerance for Patent Hoarders
- On CDDL as a cure for license proliferation: Proliferation of Proliferations
- Why CDDL and nt GPL for OpenSolaris: On Cane Toads, Fire Ants and Patents
- Quick answers to common jabs: Satire or Shallowness?
- On license proliferation and categories of licenses: 'Failed' as in 'succeeded wildly'
If you only have time for one, read the last!
