That's not what redistributable means - it refers to distributing it on to a third party without requiring permission or knowledge of Sun/Oracle.

No release of Solaris has been redistributable - only OpenSolaris is. Solaris has always included technologies from other companies which are licensed by Sun/Oracle with terms that prevent redistribution. Enterprise customers don't care about redistrability, but they care about it having all the bits they use.
