AFAIK, the Sunray server is closed source and cannot be redistributed. 

If this is true, the related code cannot be made part of a free distro.

I believe the most important current problem is the fact that OpenSolaris is 
not yet self hosting. You cannot yet compile the ONNV code using freely 
redistributable and OSS based code. I am working on this problem and there will 
be a new SchilliX distro soon that allows to recompile ONNV or Illumos.
