I didn't get the impression that hardware was limiting him. It sounds like Sun donated the build and test environment and may have a clause in whatever agreement that says that Sun owns the code developed on that platform or in that environment. At least that's the impression that I got, that it's mostly a legal/IP issue, which makes sense. They provided the hardware, they provided the build tools and they also paid his salary so they likely own the code outright. The Linux stuff is likely GPL'd, so it's a totally different story from the Solaris work.
