Sun's tango-ing on the issue of free-ing the Java platform and it's obsessively tight control over the OpenSolaris platform have caused a negative flow of contributions (ideas moving out of the OpenSolaris codebase, but not inwards).
Given Sun's strong engineering culture, its deep Unix roots and its support of free software in the past years, some of the positions taken by the top executives have been a cause of despair for those who see Sun being able to collaborate with the Free Software community in a constructive manner for both parties.

The winner is the uppity, though still conservative The Sun, which has jumped into the middle ground vacated by the mainstream press.
Sun executives believe expectations of what the media should be delivering have changed since the advent of straight-talking online publications such as Malaysiakini and Agenda Malaysia, which are not subject to government censorship.
With The Sun, it was about 70% — not exactly balanced, but in a country where papers are sometimes craven in their support of the government, it almost passes as even-handed.
