So you're ready to condem Stallman and his GPL licenses and recommend these other licenses like CDDL instead? Sure you are.

Condemn Stallman, sure... the guy is a nutcase. But I do not have a huge problem with the GPL, nor any other license that an IP owner decides to use, open or closed... Unlike you I'm consistent that a persons IP is theirs to license as they, not I, see fit..

Each IP owner should choose the license that works best for them..

BTW if you take a second ogg from trolling youll see the default icon I use for the OSS ping list is from opensource.org, among the licenses they define as opensource are:

Common Development and Distribution License
New BSD license
Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL)
Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL)
And many others, in addition to these I dont have any fundamental problems with closed source licenses..
