Well, let's see, the gnu utilities, Linux Kernel, GNOME. Those are open source just to name a few.
StarOffice is the commerical version (with support and extra goodies) of the open sourced OpenOffice.Org Office Suite.
Java is open spec, but not open source.
Also what you're getting here from Sun's Java Desktop is a polished end user environment and the potential of ease of management from a central location. Besides most businesses want support and a "throat to choke" for their IT Systems. Why should the linux desktop be any different?
