**According to Wikipedia:

OpenSolaris is an open source operating system based on Sun Microsystems' Solaris. It is also the name of the project initiated by Sun to build a developer and user community around it.

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. It is the only open source System V derivative available.[2] Open sourced components are snapshots of the latest Solaris release under development.[3] Sun has announced that future versions of its commercial Solaris operating system will be based on technology from the OpenSolaris project.[4]
