How is the CDDL any more detestable than the GPL family of licenses? Not saying that they are detestable in any way, but the CDDL is also a free software license so I don't get how it's worse or bad
- p_l 3y agoSpecifically, the issue is with GPL, which disallows licenses that have more requirements than itself - in case of CDDL, it's IIRC patent sharing requirements and language around file-specific applicability. And of course then there's the part that GPL doesn't apply to linking at all - it applies to derivative code, which OpenZFS is not and thus it does not violate GPL to ship OpenZFS code linked with Linux kernel.
