In my not so humble opinion, the concept of OpenSolaris compliant or
OpenSolaris compatible is non-existent. (That's not to say I think
that's good or bad, I'm just saying that's the way it is today. It's
important people don't start thinking there is any meaning whatsoever to
statements like "incompatible with OpenSolaris".)
If there are two ways to go. One is OpenSource and the other is not, then
it seems to be obvious that the non OSS solution os incompatible with an OSS
platform like OpenSolaris.
Here, you're saying that OpenSolaris is a "platform". What I'm arguing
is that because we don't want people to start thinking there is any real
meaning to the phrase "OpenSolaris platform", we shouldn't use it.
OpenSolaris is a code base, a web portal, a community... but it does not
have platform status. I suppose there's a chance that maybe it will
someday in the future, but it doesn't yet.
