You can't mix code with CDDL and GPL licenses. So, because the Linux kernel is GPL and the ClosedSolaris bits are CDDL, they will never be merged and form Voltron. The same would be true for any kernel code licensed MPL/PHP/Apache. Not that I know of anyone who has done that, because it would make it intentionally incompatible. :) ~spot -- Tom "spot" Callaway: Red Hat Senior Sales Engineer || GPG ID: 93054260 Fedora Extras Steering Committee Member (RPM Standards and Practices) Aurora Linux Project Leader: <a href="http://auroralinux.org">http://auroralinux.org</a> Lemurs, llamas, and sparcs, oh my! -- fedora-test-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com"> fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> </blockquote></div> Thank you for the explanation.
