Linus is right, Sun don't want Linux source code, they want Linux' kernel hackers (and
then later Linux' users).
Of course CDDL is hopeless is this regard as hackers must transfer copyright to Sun, who
want to do that?
Sun have to fix the bootstrap problem too: it's now not possible to build a complete
free Solaris "distribution". You must use some non free Sun tools at some point.
Who wants to contribute to project you can't build yourself?
