"Sun has released Solaris 10 11/06 today. Internally, we called this 'Update 3'. The biggie features for this update are Trusted Extensions and Secure by Default. Yes, all of the security features you loved back in Trusted Solaris, are now standard as part of Solaris 10. This isn't just for the feds either. Banks love it. Wall St. loves it. Corporations that need to follow Sarbanes-Oxley love it." Get it here, a what's new guide is also available.

I sincerely hope so. Solaris has some great technology in it that would be of benefit to the Open Source community. On the other hand, the Open Source community has a lot to offer Solaris in the form of utilities and polish (Solaris is pretty ugly by default).
I think the result of a merge of the technologies, utilities, and polish would result in an excellent OS.

Making Solaris GPL wont happen overnight; I wouldn't surprised if they waited until Solaris 11. Look, Solaris has just been opened under CDDL, Sun and its partners would have to see what going GPL would do the code they want to keep secret. Have patience. java was GPL'ed, Solaris will be too.
