I wonder if Groklaw mentioned that Sun could NOT GPL the whole thing and therefore had to adopt another OSI approved license scheme. I have read a few threads on /. and OSNews and it seems to be only the GPL fanboys that are mouthing off.

I agree with you. Most of the times I don’t really bother about license but a bit of know-how on the implications is good… and yes, after all, the T-shirt says ‘Open Source. Open Minds’

I guess it’s best for us to forget about licensing and just contribute. Licenses or ownership of code should never be a deterrent to contributing to open source projcets Everyone’s coming up with their own license,it’s become a fashion these days i guess. Recently TAAQ released their music for free download .Even with zillions of music and IP licenses around they came up with a TAAQ music license!
As for employers , every company is saving millions of dollars by using OSS tools,it’s their duty to allow their employees to contribute. .
