What is so cool about it? Sun still restricts what you can do with the
code. You still need to pay them if you want to use your own changes.
You still can not give your code to anyone else without passing the
JCK. Oh, and of course they will not give you the JCK without paying
them. In addition, looking at the Sun will break "clean room", so
you will not be able to work on japhar. Why would anyone agree to
these license terms? This is a token gesture only, they have not
"opened" anything.
