New CDDL code outside of Oracle is under CDDLv1 only to prevent them from doing as they please with the license terms.
- cyphar 10y agoBut ZFS is not under that other license (which might be called CDDLv1, but that's confusing). I don't get why new software uses the CDDL over the MPL if you want "file based copyleft". If you want copyleft, just use the GPL.
- ryao 10y agoNot much new software uses the CDDL. Fans of CDDL software typically opt for BSD or Apache licenses.
