Did anyone else read about Sun's action today?

It appears that they have contributed all of the Sun owned Java code to 
the GPL community.The only Java source code that isn't being contributed 
to the GPL is that which Sun doesn't own the rights to.

I think that will be quite a boost to the GPL community, and will cause 
Java to rapidly become almost totally integrated into most Linux 
distributions.
