[ros-dev] Got a little nightmare ZFS and Reactos.

[Magnus Olsen]

after reading part of CDDL around 50% of the licen before i give up
basic if u use part or whole source code from a CDDL project all u own code
will automatic belong to
frist devloper of the the CDDL project.

The frist programer can force u pay money if u dispurte it as Execute avail,
he have right claim money for the pantent he have, if he have one. say u
have a pantent and implement it in a CDDL project u will agreed give it
to the frist devloper of the CDDL project for free. basic u give up pantent
and give it to him for free, if u got one.

and allot other bad thing.

CDDL are not comptaible with GPL or BSD or FreeWare or MIT X11

I will not comment any more or send mail about CDDL
