It does literally say "Sun is making the Java Enterprise System, Sun N1 Management software, and Sun developer tools available at no cost for both development and deployment and further, is REAFFIRMING ITS COMMITMENT TO OPEN SOURCE THIS SOFTWARE."

Although OS X does 3D on virtually the same board, XSun does not. Would you expect 3D in the sparc Xorg version? Xine runs very nicely with the XVR-100 by tickling the hardware directly. Should we expect an XV extension for it through the Xorg work, so it could work with other media players? Finally, any kind of rough timeframe for the XVR-100 work? 6 months?
