IIRC, Blackdown is not a "clean-room" implementation of Java, but uses some/all of Sun's code. In which case, Sun can pull the license of them, too. In fact, since the issue seems to be that they have pulled EVERYONE'S license, so they can re-negotiate, then Blackdown's in the same boat right now.

(NB: I always thought contracts were two-way things, that pulling it like this is considered "bad faith" in a legal sense.)
