[ale] Sun's Java GPL contribution

[Greg Freemyer]

I haven't read the announcement, but other e-mails I've read said Sun
announced that they would do this in March.

March is a long way away and corporate decisions have a way of
changing over time, so I suggest we wait for the real thing before
getting too excited.
