Prajwal,

Sun declaring to close few features from Community Edition was a
mistake. The decision on closed source was reverted back immedaitely.

All the controversial surround with  the encryption and compression
backup features. Which was only available for Enterprise edition. All
now opensource and available for everyone.

Sun even willing to release Solaris in GPL and guess the features like
ZFS,DTrace, xVM etc.. gets ported in your Linux?
