a) not that i know of

b) there afaik are massive licence issues since the linux dvb drivers
   are gpl and opensolaris isn't (its CDDL).
   
   also see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html and scroll
   down to CDDL.
   
   --snip--
   So, a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the CDDL
   cannot legally be linked together.
   --/snip--
   
   so as far as my interpretation (i'm not a lawyer) is concerned, its a
   total no-go. sun shot itself into the foot with this license.

   sorry to be the bad-news-teller.
