But it's not really making any money from it, is it?  I saw the issue
hotly debated (more perceptively in the business press than in the
technical one, IMHO) in conjunction with Sun's recent bad results, and
that's the conclusion that seemed most convincing to me -- BEA, Oracle
and IBM seem to be the firms that make big money from Java, not Sun.
