OpenSolaris is a Sun trademark that apparently has been chosen by fiat
for use by a supposedly community project which is really a Sun
project with well-meaning intent, poorly executed. While the rest of
the community is denied from using the trademark in well-meaning ways,
this project apparently gets special status.

I will simply have to agree to disagree with this choice because to
date, no justification that has not already been rejected other than
"trust me" has been offered.
