I didn't say the CDDL prevented this. I'm not blaming one of the other |
| 16 |
licence, but they are considered to be incompatible. I realise you |
| 17 |
believe otherwise, and you could well be correct, but those who distribute |
| 18 |
the software either believe otherwise or feel there is enough doubt to be |
| 19 |
cautious. If in doubt, don't. |

I wish your interpretation was correct, but the prevailing option is |
| 22 |
otherwise. |
