That leads me to one question though: Why is *BSD able to bring it into the OS as where Linux has licensing problems with the CDDL? AFAIK Linux users can only run it in userland mode and not in kernel mode because of the licenses. I don't really know the differences between all the licenses, so feel free to correct me if I'm saying something stupid. Thanks, Jorn
