You pay for the OS, not for a protection racket.  I believe some other
company, Symantec maybe, had a lawsuit brought against them for
charging for Y2K patches to a product.  I wouldn't rule out a huge
class action suit against Sun if they try and do the same.

I know your playing devil's advocate tho. 8^)
