as far as I know Sun does have a strong motive to try to hinder the development of GNU/Linux: GNU/Linux is not only a threat to M$ and Windoze, but also to regular UNIXes. I remember reading an article saying that in fact UNIXes suffered *more* than M$ did from the rise of GNU/Linux.
Also - I remember Sun's managers zig-zagging about using Linux and eventually deciding that "if you can't beat them - join them".
My guess is that Sun is very ambiguous about GNU/Linux and that they might well decide to turn against it in despair.
