In his recent, and by now very well read blog, Jonathan Schwartz a senior bod a Sun Microsystems talks about really opening Solaris with the new GNU GPL version 3. It's not a given yet, but it would infuse Solaris with a lot of more modern GNU code, and at the same time allow some really cool but isolated stuff from Sun to cross-fertilise the Linux universe. It would certainly make Debian GNU/Solaris a lot easier from a legal standpoint!
