Not all parts of OpenSolaris can be opened (e.g. released as source,
right now Sun is building binaries for each milestone build) since they
are currently licensed by a 3rd party. Examples include:
- the i18n parts of libc
- Some utilties like /usr/bin/ksh (ksh88), /usr/bin/tail,
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail, /usr/bin/tr, /usr/xpg4/bin/tr, /usr/xpg6/bin/tr,
/usr/bin/printf, /usr/bin/pax, /usr/bin/sed, /usr/xpg4/bin/sed,
/usr/bin/od, /usr/xpg4/bin/od etc.
At least for "tail", "od", "tr", "printf" will be handled by replacing
them with the AT&T AST utilities, for the others we need to have a
closer look ("sed" can likely be replaced by AST "sed" too but we have
to check whethere the /usr/bin/sed and /usr/xpg4/bin/sed versions
differ).

No clue...
