wishful thinking - the debate about being open source or not comes up 
around open solaris (cddl, OSI approved) all the time.

for some people, only some licenses are "really, really, really open 
source the way $deity intended it to be[tm]" (gpl *cough*)

at least, reasonable people will be happy enough with that change, I 
guess. so, still good news :-))
