Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume you're referring to the use of the Solaris OS itself. Solaris 10 and 11 are both available for free download from Oracle. I read the license agreement (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/solaris-cluster-express-license-167852.html) and while I'm not a lawyer and do not even play one on the Internet, the relevant part seems to be:Copying Peter, as he would need access to a Solaris host to do GIT pre-merge build testing. Then there's the question of what ordinary developers would use for their own testing if they needed to work on some portability issue. We've got support in tree for running builds against VM images for the various *BSDs, and have mingw cross build toolchain for Windows. Is it possible to provide free-to-use VM disk images for Solaris build testing, or are software licensing requirements going to get in the way of developers using them ?

I /think /that means it's OK to use it. ???
One problem with OpenIndiana is that it's not available for SPARC. However, they refer to Dilos, OpenSXCE and Tribblix, though I know nothing of any of those.There is OpenIndiana that forked off OpenSolaris, but I'm unclear how far OpenIndiana and commercial Solaris have diverged since then ?
