Having said that, reading the above my reaction is do we realy want contributions from 'GPL bigots'? From my perspective, the term implies someone who cares more about the licence than the code.
Huge effort was expended getting the CDDL ratified and the code released, it's too early to roll over and dual license. I think way too much time is wasted here in endless, repetitive debates about licenses and not enough on finding the real barriers to community contributed code.
