That's where I agree more with the opposing viewpoint Joerg and others have in this regard. First: OpenSolaris is a code base; Solaris is a platform. Second: if we advance your notion (above), we're saying that Sun's implementation of OpenSolaris -- an implementation that also includes some non-opensource software -- and OpenSolaris itself are technically the same, which is misleading at best. Third: Sun is not the final arbiter of what OpenSolaris becomes; however, it is the final arbiter of what Solaris is/becomes.
