How are the OpenSSO source code, Sun Java System Access Manager and Sun Java System Federation Manager related?

The OpenSSO source code is based on the code released as Sun JavaTM System Access Manager 7.0 (including components under development for 7.1) and Sun Java System Federation Manager. Sun Microsystems, Inc. has provided the source code of these products to the Java developer community on a free right-to-use basis. (Prior to release, there were changes made because of third-party source code that cannot be redistributed but these changes were minimal.) The forthcoming Federated Access Manager 8.0 (the combined Access Manager and Federation Manager) will be built from the OpenSSO source – just as Sun Java System Application Server is built from Glassfish). When Sun decides that OpenSSO contains the features we want to use in the next release, we will branch the code and stabilize the release branch, all in public. New feature development can and will continue on the trunk and fixes in the Sun release branch will be copied back to the OpenSSO trunk.
