Resources are exactly what's required. Unfortunately, the resources needed are legal ones, i.e., lawyers that can track down 3rd party licenses. Having a community member under NDA isn't going to able to do that. It would take a lawyer with access to the licenses that Sun has negotiated over the years.

Hi all,

I see on the downloads page that "[t]here are no plans to make the
following consolidations available as open source":

        CDE
        OpenWindows
        SPARC networking drivers
        HW Partners support

I understand that these are probably due to limitations of Sun's
resources, however, is there any way that community members can
help here, even if under NDA?
