> People like you are blind idiots. Can you take a MSFT DLL and modify it then install it with your app? NO you can't. It's no Different. You are just to ignorant of the fact that since the Source code is there and your a lazy programmer so you cheat, by cutting corners.
Did you even understand what you've blabbered there yourself? What Microsoft DLL's have to do with anything?! It is probably the dubest parallel you could have drawn. CDDL lets you use the source just as GPL does, only it doesn't create the increadible headaches with linking. If you want to see a hands on example what a train wreck GPL is in that regard, just check the device driver interface to the Linux kernel with wrappers and a bunch of other garbage that is there just to have a layer of isolation between GPL and private code. CDDL is easier and more comfortable to use for any developer that has any sort of commercial interest in software (that's about 99% of developers out there). Lay off your GPL Kool Aid and use your brain for a change if you have one.
