I am interested in very clear terms what the pros and cons of a FORK is from a 
technical point of view?

Support for a successful operating system is very roughly composed of the 
following
Technical development 
ISV development and partner input 
IHV development and partner input
Marketing, branding,and strategy
Support
User community/customers
Resources/working capital

To differentiate with a distinctive business model is difficult but it must be 
clear to the customer/user.Sun/oracle offers a great advantage over other os's 
in that it provides access to active customers base.clearly to fork technically 
it would be weighed up against the other issues.

The third way would be to be proactive...present a business case to oracle as a 
separate business enity.There are many exciting options....
