It wasn't designed to be hostile to Linux - insider claims they expected integration within weeks, the license kerfuffle was a surprise. The choice of creating a new license was because of two reasons: - Internally people wanted for the code to be usable by not just Linux and Solaris (lots of BSD fans, for example) - Sun was insisting on mutual patent protection clauses because GPLv2 didn't support them, and GPLv3 was not yet available to discuss viability at all. |
