| "I would not be surprised," Phipps told us, "if the final GPL v3.0
was
| not an effective tool for some of the communities that Sun sustains,
| or will, initiate, in the future."

| Solaris wasn't mentioned, but the prospect of a Solaris released
| under a dual license, of which one is GPL v 3.0, therefore looks
| much more likely today. And certainly enough of a prospect to
| start talking about the ramifications.

| Fast forward 6 months to today. Looking more comfortable with each
| other than ever, Schwartz and Green took the floor once again
| to fulfill that promise. As has been widely reported, Sun announced
| they will begin immediately to open source Java SE, ME, and EE under
| the GNU Public License (GPL) version 2.
