Many would say that the OpenSource Initiative (OSI) sets the definition. At least that's what OSI says. And they list the OpenSolaris license, called CDDL, as an "OSI Approved" license: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php
Keep in mind that there are two aspects of Project Looking Glass at the moment. The first is the "proof of concept" demo (you can see a video of this demo here) and the second is the "developer's release" on java.net. Not all the features in the proof of concept are currently implemented in the developer's release.
Also, remember that this is an early access, open development project. Questions about to usefulness of these concepts can and should be openly debated. I discuss some of Sun's thinking in my blog.
