Illumos will be the upstream. Illumos project started out as a branch of OpenSolaris code, but is now effectively a fork of OpenSolaris codebase. As an added positive, it is replacing all of the closed bits (previously distributed as binary blobs) with open code. A major portion of this is already done. Site: https://www.illumos.org Note: It is the current understanding that development will be within Oracle, but the code itself will be opened after binary releases.. so we'll mostly see a big drop of code after every solaris release.
