I wonder who paid Evans to say that, and why they thought it should be said. The obvious candidate is IBM. Maybe they have a customer who needed reminding that there are plausible alternatives to Sun's offerings.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Sun had suggested, while still in negotiation to become a supporter, that the project change its name from "Eclipse" to "Clipsy"?
