Out of curiousity, is it possible to convert the GPL-licensed GNOME on 
OpenSolaris to the CDDL or MIT licenses? We are NOT talking of LGPL here.

I'm well aware that any code or really 'software' deemed "compatible" with the 
GPL underneath another license "compatible" becomes GPL or at least, GPL in 
part. While it is possible for other licenses to "adapt", shall we say, to the 
GPL, how can the same be done to respin GNOME from the GPL? We're talking 
possibly recompiling and rebuilding GNOME into another desktop environment, 
licensed under (e.g. the MIT) if it can be done. 

Or, can someone install the Fluxbox environment onto OpenSolaris? Wait... real 
question: Is Fluxbox supported on OpenSolaris like in distros?
