I just chatted with Sun's FOSS embassador Simon Phillips and i asked if Sun would switch to a LGPL compatible license even for openSolaris in the course of the recent announcement. However he said it would stay with the CDDL and was not aware how that would hinder a debian port of openSolaris. Could the people who are interested in working on this please head over to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/discussions/ and more specifically to http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=32 for the GNU-Solaris discussion to work on a way to resolve the issues (or clarify the problems, first)? Aparently there is even a mailling list interface to those formums. Feel free to figure it out yourself and mail here once you found out. (c: The Sun folks understand full well the power of a debian port of openSolaris and the lift they would get from it. (c: /andreas
