This was part of the reason Schwartz took over a few years ago - McNealy was never able to pry his mind from Sun-as-a-hardware company and he only ever gave lip service to truly open source Java (much vacillation). Open source has be a torturous path for Sun - they DID make Java open source a year or so ago didn't they? Time to kick it up a notch Sun - Solaris workstations are an old pony and they'll only be able to milk revenue off of Java core licensing for so long.
