That's a hoot.  I'd just been thinking that this has been the most civil, 
relaxed licensing "debate" that I've ever observed.

If I understand this, then:

        a) Solaris porters would either have to write a license compatibility 
layer, 
as has been suggested, or
        b) The UnionFS developers would have to change the license so that it 
were a 
dual-license, to accommodate the porters.

Is that accurate?  I mean, FIST is loosely licensed enough, but the trick 
comes in the UnionFS layer?
