I think the name "Java Enterprise System" says it all. It's a linux distribution with MINIMAL if any java applications in it. They take other peoples work ( legally ), deceive people about what it contains by the name they choose, and then slap their benefactors in the face.

If those who wrote the code would not have wanted SUN to take it and slap them in the face afterwards they should not have choosen the GPL. Anyone can take any piece of GPL code, wrap his own brand name around it and sell. Hell, that's what RedHat and all the other distro's do.
