| And the group argued that GPL fans won't be mollified. "GPL
| licensing OpenSolaris would be yielding to a small, vocal
| minority of FOSS (free and open-source software) developers
| who use the lack of GPL licensing purely as a means of
| fostering FUD (negative propaganda in the form of fear,
| uncertainty and doubt) towards OpenSolaris and who will,
| in all likelihood, find some other workable mechanism to
| continue to foster FUD towards the project."
