The 12.5 release is new, but the licensing model is the same as previous
releases - free to use, pay for support.

Be warned though that OpenIndiana is not an officially supported platform,
nor is it tested - you may luck out and have everything work fine, or you
may run into dependencies on things Solaris added after OpenSolaris forked
into separate open illumos & closed Solaris code bases.

P.S.  I am not now, nor have I ever been, an official Oracle spokesperson.
Things I say do not override anything published on the Oracle website or in
Oracle documentation or licensing agreements.  Do not shoot the messenger if
you don't like the message.  Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate the messenger
either.
