They already have. The official word is that while Sun bought more rights
to the code than anyone else has, even that has limits, and open sourcing
the code goes beyond those limits. (That's what Chris Sontag stated in a
recent interview. Unfortunately I don't recall where the article was that
I was reading, likely ZDNet or CNet, maybe linked from a Groklaw article
thread, as I spent a couple hours on those three sites yesterday.)
