I love the desktop analogies. People use Fedora in
server farms. I have used Fedora in server farms. We
are most definitely interested in the source code. How
else are we suppose to integrate previously
half/non-integrated pieces of software together?

OH BTW, before you get side-tracked, Casper made a
comment about source code in general and not just Sun
code. Linux users very well would be interested in the
source code and compilation methods of binary packages
included in the distribution.
