What Oracle wrote is not written in the stone. Oracle can change it in future,
as well. Regarding licenses, Oracle *OWN* copyright and they could change CDDL
as
well. They could do *WHATEVER* they want.
It means they can give for free binary only bi-weekly releases, they can make
some
specific (free) licensing model for universities, they can give Solaris 11 under
the same license model as Solaris 11 Express, etc.
Everything is possible, it is just a matter weather they want to do it or not.
