I don't see what license this is released under anywhere on the linked site: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/desktop/communities/jds/

There are dozens of "open source" licenses, and a number of them are quite restrictive and not really open at all. More like "all your code are belong to us" than truly open. So what's the story here?

Its CDDL and some binary components are covered under the OpenSolaris Binary License and some are covered under other open source licenses.

The majority of the thing is gnome.

You can see it at :
