Remeber the day last year when Microsoft and Sun became friends? "Microsoft is to pay $700m to Sun to settle anti-trust issues and $900m to resolve patent issues. It is also making an up-front payment of $350m to Sun to cover patent royalties for server products." It that's not a serious source of income for Sun, I don't know what is. And whether Sun would sue free software developers in the future is not something we have on paper, management change and Sun has a rocky ride ahead. Nobody knows what'll happen then.
