ggendal,

The source code for Red Hat is available. In fact the CentOS project uses it.

Why can't SUN release the code for the official release what is there to hide?

  The OpenSolaris source is essentially Solaris 10 - encumbered
  pieces + lots of changes and developments that have happened
  after Solaris 10. The current source base is something on which
  a subsequent official release will be made sometime in future.

  What would one gain by going back and spending huge effort in
  opening up older releases of the same source base ?

  The source base for Solaris (excepting some encumbered parts
  like CDE) is open and there are alternative distributions that are
  based on it.

When the official Solaris 11 is out will it include the source code?

  The source code is always available from OpenSolaris.ORG.

Regards,
Moinak.
