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?
