Microsoft, Intel et al are reeking of hypocrisy, IMHO.  But if Scott
McNealy were smart, couldn't he call their bluff?

All of these companies have technologies that they control, and will not
release into the public domain.  If Sun should give up control of its
technology, they should reciprocate.  That's only fair, right?

I would like to see Sun put forward just such a proposal, and dare them
to agree.  That would be fun, no matter how it turns out.
