Quoted from your article: "OpenSolaris is derived from the Unix System V 
Release 4 codebase, with significant modifications made by Sun since it bought 
the rights to that code in 1994."

I wasn't aware that Sun bought the rights to SVR4, released in 1990, because it 
was a joint project between USL and Sun.  AT&T and Sun terminated their 
relationship after the release of SVR4.  Also, Sun combined SVR3, 4.3BSD, 
Xenix, and SunOS to develop SVR4.  

Sun didn't make "significant modifications" after their split with AT&T.  
Modifications to SVR4 are now in OpenSolaris.
