Not everything that is "open source" is automatically GPL!
Sun says they are "open sourcing" solaris, and they did. Those that complain of the CDDL not being compatible with GPL should realize GPL is not compatible with other licenses.
Get over it. Whether to GPL or not is the decision of the code owner. You should respect the decision of the code owner to release their code (costing millions to develop) and be appreciative that it is there to view, should you desire to do so. If you don't then what have you lost?
