They have been in the past - if Schillix, Belenix, Martux or Nexenta had
asked to be able to use the OpenSolaris name, they would likely have been
denied.    That it's an option now seems to be because a Sun executive is
pushing for this project.

Is that good or bad?   I don't know - but it's one of the issues that people
think about when naming a distro "OpenSolaris".
