Many shops aren't going to be interested in using non-vendor packages. I
think it'd be best to make a lightweight window manager/environment
official as possible.

Linux distribution, as the GPL is strictly a source-level license if one
assumes the imaginary 'linking clause' is, in fact, imaginary.
With this said, I fail to see how adopting a license that contains such
ambiguities could be beneficial towards OpenSolaris.

Perhaps someone internally can comment how "closely" mwm resembles dtwm
without violating any NDAs? I'd be interested in what features mwm lacks
that dtwm has.
everyone, because of
problems that are localized to Windows.

would recommend, you need to use kdmconfig to
change your default X11 server and then go through the standard procedures
that you're accustomed to in Linux to modify your Xorg configuration (Xorg

till use CDE as their
primary environment. A sense of compatibility/portability would be lost
in Solaris if CDE were to be done away with. I'd rather see Sun not
offer support and/or bug-fixes for CDE, rather than EOL'ing it.
