Not without a binary redistribution licence. Thats big bucks.
It would be better to try to drop in a different vfs. Possibly with a
*lot* of work, hacking with a binary kernel, and NetBSD code this
could be done for suns. The efforts could be redistributed however.
The question is would people pay enough and is someone already doing
it, and is it cheaper to get the licence from sun and use MIT's diffs?
