“Boy, do I hate the holidays. Tacky Christmas decorations strewn
over lawns, holiday mind-control music piped into shopping malls,
and the last minute need to drive the economy with conspicuous
consumption. People are irritable, depressed, and frustrated, and
they vent by giving you really horrendous gifts–like the Common
Development and Distribution License, a wonderful, new,
GPL-incompatible license that Sun Microsystems will use to
distribute Solaris as open source. Dammit! Don’t we have enough of
these stupid licenses anyway? All we need is four or five of them,
tops…!”
