Why CDDL? #2

I'd like to start with saying this project rocks. I was up and running with leveldb in no time.

However if I actually wanted to use this project for anything real I'd have reservations about the CDDL. Both projects this depends on have much better known and permissive licenses. LevelDb is new Berkley and hawtjni is apache 2. Would it be possible to go with either of these instead of CDDL?

I agree.

A more permissive license would almost ensure that I go ahead with this project. In the current form, this isnt an option.
