That's the fork of the kernel and corresponding tools only, not the whole [Open]Solaris. OpenIndiana is a distro already: http://openindiana.org/

The fork of Solaris is called Illumos.
http://www.illumos.org/
Which didn't start out as a fork, it actually wanted to work together with Oracle as they killed OpenSolaris.
Then when Oracle gave them and the entire OpenSolaris community the big finger, they went and fully forked the code base.
Hopefully creating a more viable Solaris OS then OpenSolaris in the Sun and Orable days ever was..
