don't miss the obvious

it's obvious that the reason sun and others created their own license in the first place is to stop code-sharing. sun and mozilla don't want their code used by someone else without their knowledge or permission. that's why they created their own license. the big boys want this percieved complexity so they will feel protected. the boys at sco want everyone to think they actually own the rights to all the code behind unix. and they are hiding behind a huge license to enforce that erroneous idea.

that's what they all do and have been doing ad-infinitum. this human nature to hang on to what's yours no matter what will never change.

but go ahead and try to stop it if you think you can. just don't expect it to work. don't get your hopes up and they won't get trashed.
