Yep, the GPLv3 probably will release around July time. So;luckily, we had very little time to see the final decision about it :-) I hope we should upgrade to GPLv3 and Sun should "Dual License" the OpenSolaris via GPLv3 (or at least,GPLv3 should be CDDL compatible.). So,we should have more fruits (like ZFS,DTrace etc.) ;-)
