Sun have now made OpenSolaris available. There are still encumbered bits of Solaris in there, but they've made the tools available to build Solaris on Sparc and on x86/x64.

Anyone can get an account (you need to register). Solaris is a good operating system, whether this will make a dent in the Linux market is debatable, but since they're giving away Forte development tools (which produce highly optimised code for at least the Sparc architechture) it should attract quite a few developers.
