Here's an idea ... Examine all the code for legality *before* making any
press releases, *then* go out and release it, code and all. Instant
credibility, without all the suspicion that will linger on for years.
Sun may have *thought* that they would get credibility with the first
press release, but the intended target is harder to impress than
anticipated, and the plan back-fired. The best thing they could do
right now is to just hurry up with something substantial, because their
reputation in the OSS world is just getting worse by the minute. That
takes time to rebuild later.
