Please understand that asking Sun to relicense source is a little like asking 
Debian to hurry up and release Lenny. Different pieces of source are controlled 
by various people who work in various departments in Sun. You can't just walk 
up to the "universal source control desk" and say "please relicense this". 
Their internal versions that their lawyers are used to dealing with are almost 
certainly not the same things that we are using.

The main thing is, good news, they want to help!

These look good, Simon has already read the email and forwarded these links 
along to some Sun legal people.
