Re: [OT] How much open is OpenSolaris?



2007/3/30, Michael Pobega <pobega@gmail.com>:
...
the Wikipedia article "The [FSF] considers it a free license
incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL)". I guess this
means that although it is free, it isn't free under GPL standards

No,
GPL compatibility is defined by the FSF, as: "This means you can
combine a module which was released under that [compatible] license
with a GPL-covered module to make one larger program."

(What other licenses are, anyway?

under FSF's standards A LOT other licenses are free and many are GPL
compatible also
