Correction:
Doukan uses many software sources licensed under various Open Source licenses, but fails to comply with the terms of those licenses.
The differences are not philosophical, they are legal issues.
In contrast:
Amazon e-ink Kindles use a OS that is also closed source, and utilizes many software sources licensed under various Open Source licenses, but attempts to comply with the terms of those licenses.
They even do a fairly decent job of it - with a few exceptions (they are still in violation of the GPLv2 as it applies to the initramfs they ship).

I have kindle paperwhite 2 running on 5.6.1.0.2 NO JB
So is there anyway to install DUOKAN into PW2???

You can not install Duokan using a Mobileread jail break - Duokan installer is designed to be incompatible.
And Duokan has not (yet) bundled a jail break for the series 5.6.x firmware nor released a Duokan version for v5.6.x that uses our jail break (unless you know of a Duokan link/release that we don't).
So you are in the same boat as the Chinese Kindle owners - who install our KOreader using our jail break installed via the serial port.
A little bit of searching here will find a recent thread on the subject, where we "fixed" some bugs in our add-ins for the Chinese KT2 (and presumably the Chinese PW2, KV).
