OpenSolaris may be licensed under GPL3

• Jonathan Schwartz (Sun's President): "

  We also recognize that diversity and choice are important - which is why we've begun looking at the possibility of releasing Solaris (and potentially the entire Solaris Enterprise System), under dual open source licenses. CDDL (which allows customer IP to safely comingle with Solaris source code) and under the Free Software Foundation's GPL3. It's early days, but we're looking at two things as we make that decision.

  First, we're looking at how to reach developers and customers who prefer the GPL - as a large GPL contributor, we want to do what we can to drive more efficiency and cross-pollination between Linux and OpenSolaris. (Why recreate the wheel with technologies like dTrace and ZFS - or GRUB and Xen.)"

Do you guys know what this mean? For example, the end of all those issues that were raised when I proposed an OpenSolaris based Debian distribution. This is excellent, what a great news!! :-)
