I was referring to GNU/Solaris distributions like Nexenta, Belenix and Schillix.
SchilliX is no GNU/Solaris distribution as only a minority of the
complete code from SchilliX is covered by the GPL.
I asume that similar statements could be given for Belenix.
Yes. Belenix is not GNU/Solaris since it contains all the OpenSolaris
bits
and also contains non-GNU opensource software. Though the amount of
OpenSolaris binaries in terms of MB is less than the amount of other
code.
I guess the term GNU/Solaris is applied not based on the quantity of GNU
code but rather based on how the GNU stuff are being deployed. Both
SchilliX and BeleniX are complete OpenSolaris environments and can boot
and run as basic distros even if all the GNU code is removed. The GNU
code
is added as they add value and make the distro useful.
Nexenta on the other hand is GNU/Solaris by design and it depends on the
GNU userland stuff.
