Let's put personal stuff apart, but if you do not like GPL, why do not you

Wrong. Debian has DFSG which has been respected for many years now... and does
not accept or scale with any "seem to (not?)be almost like free softwarez or
warez". CDDL 1.0 does not scale at all with the proven free software licences
and needs to be re-thinked in its next version. See the related discussions
in debian-legal@ for the previous 2-3 months.
