Don't think so, the real point is not GPLing opensolaris, but making the CDDL LGPL compatible, or at least the userland part of OpenSolaris, which would allow for a nice intermingling of both LGPLed and CDDL userland, GPL compatibility would be nice too, but less important, and maybe more difficult to justify on sun's side. Now, i believe the OpenSolaris kernel itself is not a problem, since it is devoid of any GPL/LGPLed code (am i right there ?). If this where not the case, OpenSolaris would be undistributable, so i guess Sun didn't burden in this way, especially not when claiming to have the lawyers look over all the code all that time back.
