First, for those looking for the link to the MP3, it's <a>here</a>. Secondly, it's "DTrace", not "DTRACE" (Berlind), "dTrace" (Schwartz) or "Dtrace" (you and a bunch of other people). Yes, I'm a pedant -- accept my apologies, and chalk it up to a lifetime of correcting people about the spelling of my name. Third, are you joking about the moon landing? I sure as hell hope so; arguing that we didn't land on the moon is more like arguing that the planet isn't warming or that we don't share a common ancestor with other primates than it is like arguing that Oswald didn't act alone. That is, it makes you sound like an idiot, not a contrarian... A couple of this. First, for those looking for the link to the MP3, it’s here.

So why use license issues to limit the way in which the JCK tests can be used? My guess is that maintaining control has been deemed more important than maintaining quality, something I anticipated many months back in my post <a href="http://daveshields.wordpress.com/2006/11/29/what-if-what-not-testing-testing-testing/">What if? What not? Testing … testing … testing</a> If something is worth testing it is worth testing well, so there is no need to set conditions on the tests that limit access.
