I submitted this story...
Stefano, don't take it personally. You're a wonderful contributor to Free Software and I salute you for all your contributions. Thanks for registering at LXer. Its an honor for us.
I appreciate the submission. You might find that some people, including myself have a bad taste in our mouths from having done business with Jonathan. I had some sympathy for him for a while. But anyone who gets big bonus money for producing personnel layoffs bothers me. Additionally, he can't keep his story straight.
My comments don't have anything to do with whether or not OpenSolaris will have a dual license. We'll see. This falls into an abyss of promises he has never kept and we can documents them in 30 minutes.
Anything he says is shamefully suspect. Read his past articles about how the GPL sucks and his justifications of his own licenses. GPL 3 hasn't changed enough that it should overcome his supposed problems with FSF in the past.
Why do I think opensolaris will never be dual licnesed? I didn't say that. I would appreciate it if it happened. I said that this guy wouldn't know the truth if it bit off his nose. If you understand the notion of flip floppying, he just takes a position one day and another a couple of days later.
Sorry for offending you. Jonathan's blog is just unreliable. Any other person on the planet might considering hiding after the things he's written and said in public and in interviews. Not Jonathan, he has no shame. Maybe it's Zoloft or benzodiazepines.

Another miscalculation by Sun?
Reading between the lines, it does not sound like everyone is rushing to embrace the CDDL... imagine that. I guess then next step to try do gain traction for "Open" Solaris is dual license. They should have just open sourced it in the first place instead of trying to see what they could get away with, license wise. Poor Sun, indeed.
