No it's not.  It's listed as "4.2".  The correct version is 4.2.XXX where
XXX is the build number.  Since Sun doesn't release actual patches for SGD
but instead rebuilds the whole thing.  The only way to find out what the
latest build is, is to download it.  (or wait for someone to post about the
new release here or on the Sun SGD forum group)

According to that press release, the source for SGD is supposed to become
available too.  Is that going to happen?

I think Sun at least owes the public an explanation of why the change to
SGD's licensing model.

There was certainly fanfair when it was made available.  The put-back of the
restrictions seems to have been done on the down low, by announcing a 40% of
sale?!?!?!
