I already showed you, in the license itself, which clearly indicates patent protections only exist for "original software", and a fork is certainly NOT original software.

As for Stallman, of course he opposes patents, and is very outspoken against them. How could any reasonable person think otherwise? Answer: they can't, since fighting them is one of his core philosophies. Quote from his website "Every software patent is harmful".

Either you already knew this and are still a Stallman stooge, or you don't even understand the actual motives of his movement you continually and so bitterly defend.

Your interpretation of the license is pretty damn whacked and completely contrary to the intent. "Original Software" is what Sun wrote, even if it consists of 30% of a forked product. It is still covered.

Again, MPL licensed software is subject to forking. The CDDL is the MPL with some minor edits. Show me where the changes in the CDDL prohibit forking.

No, he opposes

>>SOFTWARE<< PATENTS

as you linked to.

Friggin' learn how to read. Damn, my seven year old shows more comprehension.
