There is a lot more nuance in licensing than Till described. I should point out that there is GPLv2 and LGPLv2 code in illumos-gate. For example, grub, libdwarf, etc. Several things are dual licensed (though with us opting to use the non-GPL license for most of those). For most new code to illumos, it is expected to be licensed under the CDDL preferably or otherwise under a CDDL-compatible license, though the specifics matter greatly (e.g. a BSD 2 clause is different from other stuff).
