OpenSolaris should belong to the community, the community should decide it's destiny, the community should be the sum of the entire community. Yes, Sun is a part of that, but it is only a part. It's not up to Sun to determine the destiny, IMO, and once revenue streams are attached to OpenSolaris, there seems more chance of that happening. Bottom line is that Sun needs to be careful with it's power, because it's not the only entity in the community.
I think the Charter and Governance articulate pretty well that the OpenSolaris Community controls its own destiny:
ARTICLE II: ... "The OpenSolaris Community has the authority and responsibility for all decisions pertaining to the OpenSolaris software and collaborative infrastructure within the scope defined by the OpenSolaris Charter."
