How about this one. Sun Solaris contains bash, gtar, gzip, etc. Does that make it not Sun Solaris? RedHat Enterprise Linux, contains bash, gtar, gzip, etc. Does that not make it *RedHat* Enterprise Linux? I don't see what there is to disagree about. Making these kinds of analogies only hurts your credibility. It seems you are making up arguments to justify your position that OpenSolaris=Indiana, and that it is not Sun/Ian Murdock/Sun Marketing execs unilaterally making this decision. (BTW - Just because you happen to agree with the decision doesn't mean you are making it either.) Fact is going into the Summit, I was for it also, but the heavy handedness of how Sun's OpenSolaris marketing team is handling the Indiana naming process, has turned me off on the whole idea of OpenSolaris = Indiana.
