Hi, can you try responding to the list with 'reply button' so the 
replies are in the thread.

Source code and patches for illumos and Openindiana are on Github. 
Anyone not having access to Github?
Also before building, source code archives are downloaded to OI build 
servers,
but source per-published snapshot and every upgrade is not available in 
archive-per package form nor it's snapshots, because creating source 
code snapshots is not valued as an idea 
(https://www.illumos.org/issues/8256#change-20481).

Old sources, new upstream sources:
https://hg.openindiana.org/  (certificate needs fixing, reported 2 
months ago..)
Illumos sources:
http://src.illumos.org/source/
OI userlland sources (pull upstream archives during the build time):
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland
OI build time sources archives mirror:
http://dlc.openindiana.org/oi-userland/source-archives/ (please download 
archives from upstream projects directly, this is fail-safe only)

All OI sources:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana
OI illumos-gate (syncing with upstream)
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate

Regarding re-using Opensolaris trademark, logos, etc it was Sun's 
ownership and now Oracle's, but it was available (and no one could say 
still isn't) under fair use , providing that it is said "it is based on 
Opensolaris" etc.

Code is always under therit respective licenses so every separate 
project or package have it's own license, where Openindiana contributed 
code is CDDL unless explicitly said otherwise.

It is the question of market recognition and control over the brand 
name, that it is better for the new projects, even if reusing the code 
from other projects, to be recognized with a new name, no tto add to 
confusion etc, but yes, re-using "based on Opensolaris", logos, old 
Opensolaris branding, etc. is allowed for reuse,
whereas illumos branding and Openindiana branding is tied to their 
respective projects and is not.

Maybe most clever thing to do is for you to invent your own distribution 
name , pull everything from OI and continue pulling, create your own 
patches that create all branding and inject other and.. then start 
maintaining things you want and contribute packages :)

Much easier path is to just create your project site and Git repository, 
build it locally and publish to soem publicly-visible IPS publisher 
repository and after it is tested to be working, contribute packages to 
Oi-userland and leave OI as it is.

Generally, asking to hire people to work on Openindiana, illumos , 
Opensolaris-derived or other illumos distributions, is more then welcome.
Having already organized budget, defined tasks requirements and 
customers can help for you in attracting higher quality people, of course.
