sun = brett favre of IP

This really goes back to Sun's inability to decide whether to make Java a true open standard or protect it as intellectual property. Now that Sun has been absorbed into the Oracle Borg, it should become clear that Oracle wanted Sun for Java and intends to fight for it. That's not to say that the situation isn't complex, because there ARE unencumbered Java runtimes out there.
