Re: [PATCH] optimization for sys_semtimedop() (was: Opening Day for OpenSolaris)

Hi Robert,

IANAL, but if this is from 'OpenSolaris sources' then surely it would be incompatible with the GPL?

The idea is from the OpenSolaris sources, the implementation is independant. Actually OpenSolaris doesn't contain an implementation at all, it just mentions the idea.

Jim: From my understanding of the CDDL, only a file that "contains any part of the Original Software" must be licensed under the CDDL, there are no restrictions (except possibly patents, but I assume that even the USPTO won't grant a patent on such a trivial idea) on using methods or ideas from OpenSolaris in software that uses other licenses.

Is that correct?
