Yep. University programs started in China almost immediately after OpenSolaris was launched (but no one in the west noticed), and then the India team got involved, and now Sun corporate is funding edu programs globally. It's a big deal, actually, and involves all of the various Sun open source projects. Licensing certainly comes up in these venues but not a great deal.
