    Very nice. There seems to be good coverage of common tasks, and the ability to
    save and compare multiple datasets via the tool which generates HTML makes
    understanding the results relatively easy. It would be quite interesting to
    compare a kernel built with and without INVARIANTS, WITNESS, and so forth.

    By the way, this runs fine on 5.x, and seems to only need minor changes to go
    on 4.x as well using libc_r rather than -lposix. (All but two or three of the
    microbenchmarks compile and run...)

    The CDDL is a well-crafted Open Source license with strong patent protections;
    it closely resembles the MPL and is free, fair, but not GPL-miscable. There
    shouldn't be any particular issues including it in ports or using it with
    BSD-licensed code.

    I'm not sure what else one could say about it, nevertheless this link:

    http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/licensing_faq/

    ...has more information. Did you have a more specific question? :-)
