It is interesting that I asked few of ORACLE engineers regarding Solaris 11.
They couldn't tell me whether I could use Solaris 11 for non-commercial 
purposes(i.e. testing, educational, development, etc.) for free or I have to 
pay licensesimilar to any other commercial software.

I think the message here (and has been for a bit) is that you no longer can ask any Oracle Engineer about anything other than a purely technical question. Release times, license issue, policy decisions, etc, are now either:

(a) being kept away from the engineers, who thus don't know the answer

or

(b) having the engineers being strictly told never to discuss this publicly or privately


Answers to any of those questions has to come from the Product management teams, which do NOT include any of the Engineers.

This is a change from the old Sun mailing lists. Nowadays, you're not going to get any definitive answers to ANY non-technical question here. That's the new Oracle Way.
