Sun Microsystems is set to license OpenSolaris under the upcoming GNU GPLv3 in addition to the existing Common Development and Distribution License, sources close to the company have told eWEEK. "The next version of Solaris will include things like GNU Userland, which is already being attempted with OpenSolaris, while open-source solutions from other communities for things like package management also look very promising. Dual-licensing OpenSolaris with GPLv3 could make this even easier," said a source who declined to be named.

Yes, and I also know about Blastwave, and I can't stand either of them. 
No offense to the creators/developers/maintaners, but it's not what I'm looking for, at all. It doesn't address the problem of package management in Solaris, either, as it's not uniformly available across various installs by default.

That is the main download site for me when searching for solaris software.
