It's unclear to me what you're saying, but there's only one source
tree.  The same sources are used to build as appear on
opensolaris.org.  The source you see is the same source we see.
(Minus the unfortunate but few closed binaries, of course -- some of
which are even hard for us to see.)

The distributions (such as Sun's Solaris, but also SchilliX and
others) are free to figure out if they want to release binaries, mixed
binary/source, or whatever they need to satisfy their markets,
provided that they follow the licensing issues.

Are you trying to suggest that there's something magically different
about Solaris versus OpenSolaris?  Or that we'd hack it before
releasing it?  If so, why?
