not subject you to GPL conditions, only distributing a version you have modified would do that. The GPL is easy to understand and adhere to, while the "Open" license for Solaris requires a lawyer, and has a lot more dangerous clauses..

I find "a version you have modified" very hard to dissect. Would it include, for examples:

-A packin config file, you modified to fit your needs?

-structures and techniques from GPL code? (at what point does 'concept' blend into 'actual code?')

-examples from docs?

I find the line between 'use' and 'appropriation' and 'modification' very faint.
