What? The GPL doesn't prevent this. It *encourages* and *enables* it.
Have you actually _read_ the GPL?...
You mean where it says, for example, that Linux and OpenSolaris can
share the best of their features? No, I missed that part.
This seems to be just trolling. GPL is hardly specific to Linux kernel
so I don't see why it would talk two such operating systems explicitly.
The licenses are incompatible due to a deliberate choice.

Even if the licenses are compatible, there are other
technological/design differences in between these operating systems (at
the kernel level) preventing that from happening easily which is
actually the major issue compared to the license.
