Why can't SUN release the code for the official release what is there to hide?

The sources for Solaris 10 did not have the encumbered pieces removed and the
required open source license notices in place, among other things.   The open
sourcing of Solaris happened after Solaris 10 release, so the changes needed
have only been made to the next release.    (The work to go back and do all
that to Solaris 10 could be done, but then it would be the source for something that's not Solaris 10, but similar to it.)

When the official Solaris 11 is out will it include the source code?

The source code for most of it will be available on opensolaris.org.
