I'm sorry, but that's getting ridiculous from pretty much all sides
and all those "I'm right and you suck!" claims aren't exactly helpful.
@Schily:
As far as I understand the whole problem is the license so why don't
you dual license it under CDDL as well as some GPL? Someone on
fedora-legal asked the same but didn't get an answer (or I failed to
find it).
That way it still would be compatible to Solaris and also could be
integrated into every Linux distribution. The users would be happy
because they could freely choose what to use and the code would still
be protected (at least the GPL is good enough for other projects).
My point simply is that it doesn't really matter who is right and who
is wrong but, if you are really interested to solve this mess, it
could be easily done by dual licensing it also under the GPL which
shouldn't do any harm. Simply see it as a sign as good will ;)
Then distros could easily integrate it again and all would be happy
and could collaborate in a productive manner.
If dual licensing is out of question I would be curious to know why.

I'm surprised to hear that only Sun has lawyers working for them, and no Linux distros have. I take it that the truth of all your messages can be measured by that statement.
I am bewildered to see that you again try to insinuate claims that I did never say.....
If any Linux distro did ask any lawyer before, the deffamation campaign from Mr. Bloch did not happen. The current situation is a result from _not_ asking lawyers.
