Q:
What is Sun announcing?
A:
Sun is open sourcing all of its Java platform implementations under same 
license (called GPL Version 2) used by the GNU/Linux operating system.

Specifically Sun is announcing:

     * GPL v2 license for Sun's Java SE (JDK) and Java ME 
implementations, and adding this license to Sun's Java EE implementation.
     * First release of code for the JDK and for Sun's Java ME 
implementation, projects and communities.
     * Roadmap for future code releases and community development.

This singular act is the largest contribution ever made to the free 
software community, and places Sun squarely at the front of the 
open-source movement - as the single biggest commercial contributor.
