It depends on what you mean.  Your copy of OpenIndiana is yours and you
alone can determine what you want to install on it.  If you have legally
obtained data or executables, you're free to use them as you see fit.

However, the terms under which you obtain those bits from Oracle may
restrict the ways in which you may use them, whether on OpenIndiana or
elsewhere.  Nobody here is likely to be competent to tell you how (or
even if) those terms apply in this situation.  If you're concerned about
that, then you should contact Oracle or retain your own legal counsel.

(And, for what it's worth, that's not a special OpenIndiana issue.  It
applies pretty much generally.  Mailing lists are poor substitutes for
real legal advice.)
