But under which license? Probably the same as they open sourced solaris.
Nothing from solaris can cross pollinate to linux without violating a
license. (I always thought the GNU crowd were fanatics, but now I'm
rethinking that stance.)
IBM, of course, would prefer to use the GPL, as that'd be in their
interests.
