Like Mozilla, per-file copyleft and clearer patent licensing, IIRC.

Some prominent former Sun folks have publicly claimed the GPL incompatibility was intentional, other equally prominent folks have disagreed.

IIRC, not quite literally, but pretty close. The email RFCs in general tend to be much less constrained than one might expect.

Absolutely. I don’t blame people who don’t interact with email for not reading the relevant RFCs, but not verifying control and expecting local part uniqueness to mean uniqueness of users is obviously busted to anyone who has worked with email. This is Netflix failing to understand part of their product surface.

Both the dot behavior and the even more common ‘+’ feature are perfectly spec compliant.
