You have to defend and *indemnify* Sun. Essentially, promise to
pay them whatever it costs if someone tries to hold them liable.
Nothing about "make sure that the right party gets the blame".
The DLJ overrides any "no warranty" statement made to Sun:
[...]
Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Sun relating to
its subject matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
oral or written communications, proposals, representations and
warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms
of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or other communication
between the parties relating to its subject matter during the term
of this Agreement.
[...]
One could try suing other people after Sun take up your
indemnification, but is their Java worth that risk? There
are lots of other implementations out there.
