I think that presumes that there are folks in the ARC community who believe that Open Solaris should be an "other license free zone." Are there any? If so, then they can drive ... but they'll still need to drive in the CAB. It would seem quite odd to me to have someone file a case suggesting that GPL'd (or just non-CDDL) code should be booted out of Solaris without some actual higher-level commitment behind it. It'd also be a rather tough thing to implement ... if it's indeed possible at all.
