        Fact Check: No one in the open source community is mad at Sun for
their dealings with Microsoft.  The problem with Sun from the OS
perspective is that the Java language and API are not controlled by an
independent standards body like ANSI or ISO.  Anyone can do anything they
want with Java.  However, if you license a product from Sun as MS did, and
then you break the license agreement, you will be sued.
