Should it be Illumos or Open Indiana; I guess the name has to be decided

Solaris is a trademark or registered trademark of Oracle and/or its
affiliates in the United States and other countries.
illumos and Solaris diverged a decade ago; we're a different operating
system now. Using "Solaris" anywhere near the software will only
confuse people into thinking it's compatible with Oracle Solaris in
some way, which it is not.
Cheers.

Just brainstorming here:
How about just Indiana or jONEs(hehe, from Sun ONE and Indiana Jones) or
OpenSun or SunOp(as in dawn, but referring to Operating system) or
SolsticeOS(yup, Sun actually had Solstice Backup and other stuff, but
AFAIK not an OS with that name).
If we're voting here. I'd like to cast a vote for Solstice. OS just seems
redundant.
The beauty of it; is that you're calling it Sun, without doing it. ;-)
Ooo, how 'bout Solstice Microsystems. <evil grin>

I've actually always thought that OpenIndiana was a good name, but way
too long.
