There aren't any free software licenses on this page:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/licensing.html
Realistically, Sun would have a very difficult time freeing the Solaris
source due to the amount of non-Sun code therein (not to mention the
business end of the proposition).

CDE didn't 'replace' OpenWindows, although it did become the default. The
same will go for GNOME (should it be released in a timely fashion).
