I think you got it backwards, the massive inconvenience for everyone is that Linux is using the GPL and people don&#x27;t want to have to deal with all the re-licensing compatibility bullshit just to be able to distribute a binary of some other FOSS. seriously, CDDL is FSF&#x2F;OSI approved.<p>Sure, Oracle could resolve it by switching to a GPL compatible license, but the problem is not oracle&#x27;s clearly free software. The problem is GPL forcibly does not allow perfectly fine open source licensed software to be distributed in binary form due to it&#x27;s copyleft.
