The download is a 90-day eval if you don't register, or licensed for 
whatever use you want if you register. Of course you have to register 
before you can download, so effectively it's an eval only if you got it 
off BitTorrent or use a fake email address when you register :-)

Solaris/Sparc downloads prior to 10 are eval / non-commercial license 
only, and (at least used to be - haven't looked lately) licensed for only
2 CPUs. Solaris/Intel downloads prior to 10 were always non-free.
