You can't "license the result", it's not your decision to make. GPL parts are GPL, CDDL parts are CDDL, BSD parts are BSD and so on. There's no problem with mixing code under different licences. That is, until GP

It could use humans as actuators :-) As for the autopilot - a plane autopilot is fundamentally a device to make the plane go straight; you don't need AI, or much processing power at all, to do that.

In democratic countries they are not, because the society can control the state. In US they pretty much are, because the companies control the state. In particular, in US the company can fire you on the spot, strip you of healthcare, and

Yes, in US both parties are conservative, it’s just that one is bit more extreme. Still: not having a proper drug prevention policy, or housing, are both staples of ring-wing philosophy.

Have you ever wondered why things that doesn't match your state propaganda appear to be a trolling? I'd love to understand why are you doing this: are you bored, uneducated, or just US shill? I mean, the fact that you're not

It's not, CDDL explicitly states it doesn't apply to non-CDDL-ed source files. The problem is, GPL is claimed to be the other way around, so this would mean applying GPL to CDDL sources, and you can't do that, because CDDL g

Very, very few things depend on Linux-specific syscalls. There are two reasons for this: first, they are unportable, so you need another code path for everything !Linux anyway, and even when you only care about Linux you can't assume

And a guy in US was harassed by NSA for a YouTube video of his. Look, it’s not that this stuff doesn’t happen in China - rather, it’s also happening in US, you’ve just learned to ignore it.

Legally too, which I’ve demonstrated in the comment above. Sure, you can’t, say, buy humans, only lease them, but it’s the same with many other assets, from Technicolor cameras to land in many cases.

First, it’s China’s policy that US claims to adhere to. Second - yeah, your point being? Third - yes, it is a democratic nation, and the prevalent majority of that democratic nation wants to keep things as they are, as evidenced by polls[1]
