Solaris was anyway free for download and use even before, so open-sourcing will only help them gain more contributors.
The real problem is, Sun being a high-end server company, it is facing a hostile economic environment in US. That is the cause for all the bad news. Still last quarter did have profits. Also, in emerging markets (aka BRIC), it's market is rising. Especially their market in India is doing really well.
Yes they have fallen a lot after .com bust. But a sale of Sun, I don't think it will happen anytime soon.
