According to VNUNet, Sun plans on a piece of server virtualisation
software as GPLv3.

The article is also not clear as to whether xVM Server, a "trimmed
Solaris kernel, allowing guest operating systems to benefit from
popular features such as the ZFS file system, network virtualisation
or DTrace, which allows developers to optimise application
performance", will be licensed in the same way.

How will this affect our community as nascent distributions to emerge
thanks to tools like Distribution Constructor?

Will these parts also be available under the CDDL to ensure that
OpenSolaris-related components continue to follow our community's
choice of licensing?
