It's not an OpenSolaris issue. Java is not part of OpenSolaris.

I don't expect Sun change OpenSolaris license anytime soon, though.
Let's watch how GPL'ed Java is going to evolve for the next year.
According to Mr.Gosling, Java source will also be managed by
Mercurial, I think that's a good news for us.

Congratulations. I think in Java's case, Sun may have picked the right
license + exception.
