The OpenSolaris community has several distributions controlled by their respective project teams. None of the freedoms that allow for the creation of derived works of the OpenSolaris code base are affected by this distribution, although new distributions may be built as customized versions of the OpenSolaris OS. Sun retains control over its distributions (Solaris 10, Solaris Express) and may consolidate its release model around the OpenSolaris OS at some point in the future.
