Sun Open Sourced Java(TM)

And I don't even know it.

(This from Sun press release two days ago:)

Sun Press Release: Sun's vision is more relevant today than ever before and is embodied in the product and service breakthroughs it has recently brought to market - from the 'pay-per-view' utility computing Sun Grid and the eco-friendly 32-processor-on-a-chip Coolthreads system, to Sun's innovative software pricing model for the Java Enterprise System and the open sourcing of Java[tm], the Solaris[tm] Operating System and the UltraSPARC T1 chip.

Please, Red Hat and everybody else who make Linux distributions, why can't I get Sun JDK out of the DVD?

[Update] The article has been corrected:

Well, I have the same question: Why can't I get Sun Java EE out of the Fedora Core 5 DVD? After all, it is Open Source.
