Yikes!

This is one hell of a step:

Sun's Community Source Licensing Principles

Our Community Source Licensing Model is the result of our continued commitment to
the open development of key technologies, and is based on our public license
principles: 

Immediate open access
Increased innovation
Increased workforce
Faster commercialization
Access for students

Sun's model sets a new standard for software licensing that takes the best of
traditional and current open business models to provide for accountability
and commercial-grade requirements. By sharing source code in a fashion similar to
an open source style of license, our new model builds on a concept of community --
a group of people with common interests who agree to common rights and
responsibilities to share source code among members, ensure compatibility, and
allow choice of business models from more open to more proprietary.
