OpenSolaris Distros

This is a demo-of-concept for a distro-centric landing page

The majority of OpenSolaris code is released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0. Source based on existing open source projects will continue to be available under their current licenses. Some binary components are covered under the OpenSolaris Binary License and some are covered under other open source licenses. Specific download pages provide license information associated with the available component pieces.
