By reading some out of the OpenSolaris forum, it look's like ther can be
a changs to bring FreeBSD tight together with OpenSolaris in futuer
The comment I like is:

"For a great timeline of UNIX developments and ancestry", check out:


The original SunOS was based on BSD Unix (4.1). Solaris 2.0 (a.k.a.
SunOS 5.x) was the merge between SunOS and the SVR4 sources from AT&T.
The merge heavily favored the SVR4 source, so today it's fundamentally a
SVR4 system, though it's obviously diverged in a number of areas. You
can still find pieces of BSD influence around as well (we even run SunOS
4.x binaries unmodified on Solaris 10). For a great timeline of UNIX
developments and ancestry, check out:

And yes, by the transitive property:

OpenSolaris -> Solaris Nevada -> Solaris 10 ... -> Solaris 2.0 -> SVR4
