Why OS as sophisticated as Solaris is released free of any payments?

This is just speculation on my part, but I suspect it's something like this:
Oracle makes their money on licensing the database, and it's to their advantage to have a "pet" OS where they can make any enhancements the database needs directly without having to trust that, say, Microsoft will say "Sure, Oracle, we'll make that change you need in Windows Server 2008 so you can sell your database at the expense of our own SQL Server".
Oracle can afford to give away Solaris to help drive Oracle Enterprise Server sales.
