I expect Sun to dispatch fleets of lawyers to attack Linux after Sun code DOES make its way into Linux due to people misunderstanding the nature of the license under which it was released.

If I were Linus, I'd have the system automatically diff every submission against the Sun source code.

If I were Linus, I'd have the system automatically diff every submission against the Sun source code.

That really only solves the kernel code problems. I have a feeling that a lot of the Sun code will be more useful in userland. Having every submission to every package diffed sounds like a pain in the rear.

This is why I am such a big fan of the BSD license, I wish people would release code in that form. Too bad even the BSDs can't be built without GPL code anymore.
