Sun is still confusing Open Source Software with Free Software.
In the medium run, they'll this off. Even if Solaris is OSI approuved, the F/OSS community had seen the challenge against FSF and GPL compatibility (BSD, MIT/X, LGPL<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... licences).
See the recent <a href="http://www.varbusiness.com/components/weblogs/art" title="varbusiness.com">http://www.varbusiness.com/components/weblogs/art</a varbusiness.com><nobr>i<wbr></nobr> cle.jhtml?articleId=159907780 Schwartz's marketing about "probably opensourceing java in the near futur" : hey, Jonathan, Java is already Open Source ! We all can download the source code. Don't try to fool us.
Don't Sun hear the crowd ? Are you leaf ? The matter here, is that java is not Free Software.

Don't take the F/OOS crowd for morons.
So it's still Free Vs. Open.
