SUN = Stanford University Network; the company was founded out of EDU. Oracle wasn't and as far as I can tell, Larry is trying to make as much as he can in full capitalist style before retiring. Scott McNealy in an interview (http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/04/15/scott-mcnealy-can-still-dish/): On Larry Ellison's legacy: "He's a great capitalist, but not all into that sharing thing and all the rest of it. You have to give the guy credit; he has found a way to extract every dollar he can from customers from every product he offers. He is very impressive, and there are very few who have lasted as long as he has."
