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 think it is more telling that his comment was modded down to -4 at one point and is now at +4. It isn't about being on topic or insightful, its about promoting the GPL zealot point of view and the people who support it.
So much for being on topic and relevant.
