I guess I was referring to

That was just about making it free-as-in-$0, not open source.
(I'm not saying it will never be open source, just that I don't know of
any public announcements on the matter yet.)
It does literally say
"Sun is making the Java Enterprise System, Sun N1 Management software,
and Sun developer tools available at no cost for both development and
deployment and further, is REAFFIRMING ITS COMMITMENT TO OPEN SOURCE
THIS SOFTWARE."

Did a marketing guy over reach?
We have a prototype of the XVR-2500 (kfb) Xorg driver that the
SPARC graphics group has provided running on an Ultra 25 in our
lab - it's got basic 2-D support, but still needs 3-D and added
features like resize added. Once that's done, they've promised
to do the same for XVR-100 & XVR-300.
We have about 100 of the XVR-100's so thats of considerable interest.
Although OS X does 3D on virtually the same board, XSun does not. Would
you expect 3D in the sparc Xorg version?
Xine runs very nicely with the XVR-100 by tickling the hardware
directly. Should we expect an XV extension for it through the Xorg work,
so it could work with other media players?
Finally, any kind of rough timeframe for the XVR-100 work? 6 months?
