It should also have OpenIndiana branding since it uses text from both uname
and /etc/release - if uname stops saying "SunOS" then you'll break compatibility
with tons of scripts and software, including just about every ./configure script
used for building most open source software packages.

The default output comes from the misnamed "date" section of the perl script in
/usr/lib/xscreensaver/bin/xscreensaver-text .
