Unless you and all the mirror operators have signed a Solaris redistribution
license, yes.   Some of the licenses Sun signed for third party components
in Solaris require redistributors to have signed contracts that pass
through the terms of those licenses - unless/until all those components
are removed, Solaris is not freely redistributable.
