Oh wow, my crush on Joyent just increased by two orders of magnitude. First, now (finally!) being open, manta is a viable alternative, and second, landing on MPL v2.0 seems like a very nice and pragmatic choice.

I highly recommend checking out the linked talk on Open Source anti-patterns for those, that like me, haven't seen it. I do think Bryan is a little quick on dismissing the GPL/CDDL problem (implying that RedHat didn't want dtrace) -- but I do see how the CDDL could evolve as unfortunately GPL incompatible, rather than intentionally so (he goes into this a little in the USENIX talk on OpenSolaris/Illumous).

Exciting times.
