no, i'm just saying that they have similar goals. What i'm trying to convey is something like during the cold war, china and russia had similar goals/beliefs, so why didn't they become one nation and become more powerful? Just because something is similar to something else doesn't mean it is a good idea, or possible, for them to become one entity.
edit: i picked china and russia because of their easily identified similarities in terms of goals/ideals, not as some sort of social commentary

What makes you think that GPL is better than CDDL?. Isn't it a bit like America thinking that Democracy is the best for all nations?. Think about it - the Solaris community DOESN'T WANT GPL!
