Neither OI nor illumos have any legal entity to assign copyright to - no 
foundations or non-profit corporations were ever formed.

You could only assign to individuals like Garrett or Alasdair, or to a
commercial company like Joyent, Everycity, or Oracle.

I suspect after what happened to OpenSolaris though, no one is interested
in further assignments to commercial entities of the right to make things
proprietary.

Fortunately, none of the licenses involved require such agreements.
