The template used inside of Sun indeed defaults to "closed",
for the simple reason that it is used by more than ON/OpenSolaris-bound
projects.

The Sun-Internal template already contains an extensive discussion about
open-vs-closed:

         * Unless this project is part of an open source effort
           (OpenSolaris, NetBeans...), it is presumed to contain
           Sun Proprietary information (marketing analysis, biz
           projections...) and so is considered to be
                 Sun Proprietary/Confidential:
                   Internal Use Only: Engineering Need-to-Know
           If this default is not appropriate (for example, because
           your project involves cooperation with an OpenSource
           development effort), ensure that nothing confidential
           is included in the document, delete the Sun Proprietary
           notice and be sure to update the year in the copyright:
                 Copyright YYYY Sun Microsystems
           Note that "open" projects are exposed outside of Sun.

I updated the 1-pager template on the OS.o ARC Community page to
reflect this open-as-a-default:

    6.5. ARC review type:
                 // Pick one of
                 //   Standard
                 //   FastTrack
                 //   SelfReview
    6.6. ARC Exposure: open
        6.6.1. Rationale: Part of OpenSolaris
