In my mind Sun has the image of a company that sells propritary versions of free softwares. StartOffice, Solaris, MySQL, VirtualBox.

According to my very limited understanding, this is not exactly a sustainable model of operation in the long run. If so, what is thedir motivation to develop free software?
