OpenSolaris was the open source release of the code for the development branch
of the version after Solaris 10, which is now being called Solaris 11.

There was also a distro named OpenSolaris, with releases such as OpenSolaris
2008.05 and OpenSolaris 2009.06 - that distro has been discontinued, and
replaced by Oracle Solaris 11 Express, a preview of the future Solaris 11.

"C2" is very much obsolete on every OS.   Solaris 10, Solaris 11 & OpenSolaris
all include stronger protections than that level provided, including
multi-level/labeled security via Solaris Trusted Extensions.   The
security-discuss mailing list or forum on this website can answer specific
questions there.
