No, look. I said "volunteer-run" versus "Sun project". And you inferred from 
this "Sun is not part of the community" and "their interests differ". I did 
not even imply a distinction between "Sun" and "community". Please stick to 
what I actually did say. I would appreciate that.

To a very large degree it is. For examle, 80-90% of developers are from Sun.
