True, but the OpenSolaris kernel source, being GPL3, may not be usable in Linux.

On the other hand, I don't thinkthere's anything to prevent the Linux developers from taking design ideas from Solaris (and vice versa) and re-implementing them in their own context (which would probably have to be done anyway since the kernels have a lot of differences).
