GPL Compatibility

It's probably been said to death, but OpenSolaris is released under a non-GPL compatible license. Thus, for Free Software developers to work on the OpenSolaris code could quite possibly leave them in a position where no GPL project can risk taking contributions from such developers.

Sun are creating new and confusing license terms and developers now have yet another license to ponder over. Why risk it?
