Many of your questions are answered in the project FAQ: <http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/general_faq> The plan has always been that the next version of Solaris will be a snapshot of some future, stable version of OpenSolaris, plus (more than likely) a few additional drivers etc. that it is not possible to include in OpenSolaris due to licensing or redistribution issues. Only the OpenSolaris developers who work at Sun, are paid by Sun. Contributors to the project from outside Sun are not paid by Sun.
