...most enterprises employing the OS in production will want support.
This is a good point, which causes me to wonder about support for BrandZ. Let's say you install RHEL under BrandZ. Will Red Hat still support it? Will RHEL-certified applications still be certified on a RHEL/Solaris combination? I suspect the answer is no in both cases. I'm not sure if this matters, though.

Depends on whether Sun is willing to work with Red Hat on it just like any other Red Hat ISV or IHV. They have worked together on several things despite the marketing crap being thrown around. So its definitely possible.

Why you pay to Red Hat ? If you don't need support you can use CentOS.
That's fine for the home user or home developer but most
enterprises employing the OS in production will want
support.
