That's not what redistributable means - it refers to distributing it on 
to a third party without requiring permission or knowledge of Sun/Oracle.

No release of Solaris has been redistributable - only OpenSolaris is. 
Solaris has always included technologies from other companies which are 
licensed by Sun/Oracle with terms that prevent redistribution. 
Enterprise customers don't care about redistrability, but they care 
about it having all the bits they use.
