Can we please restrict this kind of dogmatic assertion to Groklaw? CDDL
(the license for OpenSolaris) is an OSI-approved license; it is just as
open as the BSD license or the MPL or any other OSI-approved license.
As for Unix history, you can definitely see the Sixth Edition roots
of Solaris. Look, for example, at the comment above exit():
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/common/os/exit.c#exit
Pretty amazing that this comment hasn't changed in 30+ years...
