That's Solaris 11. As John Fowler said, it will become available later this
year as a preview release.

Assuming that you're currently using OpenSolaris 2009.06 or a later build,
you're enjoying a preview of Solaris 11 already.

Nobody from Oracle said Solaris 11 won't be open source, so that should
satisfy all of your requirements above.

No need for that.

Just give Oracle some more time to explain themselves.

And watching Oracle's communications around Oracle Open World is always a
good idea.


Hope this helps,
