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.
