I would like to propose a fourth option. OpenSolaris Express Edition.

Express can be interchanged for a possibly more appropriate/desirable
name. e.g. - Indiana, Standard, (Arbitrary Name), Foobar, Flare,
Phenomenon, Halo, Neutrino, Fusion, Neutrino, Rapid, Mercury, Solar,
Genesis, Stellar ... etc.
