The new release will bring exciting technical features and this is a great time to consider what else can we do to empower the NetBeans Community. As a result of requests from the comunity, we are considering the potential adoption of a new license model. We are considering releasing a future early access version of NetBeans 6.0 under a dual licensing scheme of CDDL and GPL v2 with Classpath exception. A move like this would be well received by many of the NetBeans contributors, and will benefit the community at large."

I don't quite get why this post above was modded down. Perhaps I take the stuff he said too lightly, but I for one would like to see Linux And OpenSolaris kernels being able to share more code for the benefit of both projects.
Is there anything specially hideous about this idea that I haven't seen ?
