OpenSolaris 2009.06 was the last OpenSolaris binary release published by Sun Microsystems and is no longer available for download. Oracle Solaris is the technology to be used going forward. Information about Oracle Solaris 11 and available downloads can be found on the Oracle Technology Network Solaris 11 Express Downloads site.

Building OpenSolaris

The majority of OpenSolaris code was 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.

Many different software components comprise the OpenSolaris project. Major components are referred to as "consolidations". Pointers to available consolidations are listed on this page. Information about consolidation source currently not available can be found on the No Source page.

To build OpenSolaris from the source, you first need to install a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to the OpenSolaris developer builds.
