Just one more comment here, if I may. You seem to be reading too much of Jonathan's blog and therefore mocking all of those patents. The patents IBM pledged to OSS are here:
http://www.ibm.com/ibm/licensing/patents/pledgedpatents.pdf
To the majority of open source developers, if only one of those patents is something an OSS developer would ever use, IBM's pledge is just about infinitely better than whatever Sun promised in relation to OpenSolaris. That's because Sun's promise relates to (mosly likely unmodified) OpenSolaris code only.
