Have you ever read the miles of legalese that

There's nothing to imagine as such. Everything is front of our eyes. When
you imagine, it means you are unsure. And by the way there

OpenSolaris is open source. Solaris is Sun's use of those parts of OpenSolaris
they deem appropriate, plus additional proprietary code. Since some of the code
is owned by Sun or some other vendor it will not be made available. This is
akin to the Fedora/RedHat and other Linux commercial
Good issue.If Linux sources == OpenSolaris and RHEL == Solaris,which is the
member of Fedora expression? ( Fedora == ?)
Could be this the demand of the original question?

I'd say:
Fedora Release = Solaris Express Developer Edition
Fedora Development/Rawhide = Solaris Express Community Edition

ggendal,
The source code for Red Hat is available. In fact the CentOS project uses it.
Why can't SUN release the code for the official release what is there to hide?
When the official Solaris 11 is out will it include the source code?

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

The source code for most of it will be available on opensolaris.org.
Much of it is there already.
Underlying many of the original poster's questions seems to be a
misunderstanding of
alanc,
Thanks, you have answered my question !
Sorry about the skepticism but I think the question was pertinent.
BTW, I think Solaris is the best engineered free *nix I have seen. :)

The OpenSolaris source is essentially Solaris 10 - encumbered
pieces + lots of changes and developments
Ok,now I have another question.
if RHEL == Solaris

Linux sources == OpenSolaris (for all distro free and commercial)
Could be move SX:CE (like Fedora) from Sun site to OpenSolaris site (and free
mirrors) without an account (or with a community account) to

Moinak,
I understand that some of the stuff like CDE cannot be released under an
open-source license and given that OpenSolaris was created after the release of
S10 it makes little sense in going back and releasing the older S10 codebase.

They already ARE available, so yes, at the point in time the current
code base is frozen for the official Solaris 11

James,
I was thinking that maybe SUN wanted to keep the official releases binary-only
and only make the intermediate builds publicly available via opensolaris. So
thats what's there in OpenSolaris may not exactly match with what was used to
