I'm assuming that a disgruntled employee made this dump out of
frustration with the current situation. Still, given that the CDDL
licenses on most files are almost certainly simply leftovers from the
Sun era, the code is useless to OpenIndiana and not legally binding.
I'd even go as far as to say that this is a BAD thing as there's now
tempting code out there that if it accidentally made its way into OI
or FreeBSD or any of the other projects using code from the
OpenSolaris era could cause MAJOR legal problems for those projects.
