..their code and build system _is_ GPL too, and not just CDDL?
(AFAIUI, Jörg Schiller was kicked out of Debian because he set up a
litigation trap with cdrecord as GPL code and some headers and the build
system under Sun's CDDL.  He has his own special legal theory on why
he believes this is legal.  Sun too disagrees, they designed the CDDL
specificly to make it and Open Solaris, incompatible with the GPL.

..this also means nobody can port FlightGear to Open Solaris, unless
they the financial _and_ litigation muscles to spank both Microsoft,
Sun, tSCOG, Novell, BSA etc outta court and into bankruptsy court.
