Sun’s answer to Apache, part 1

Sun's initial response indicates focus on GPL Java and the Linux community (not Apache).

Sun posted a response to Apache’s open letter, which indicated that a more detailed response was forthcoming. Basically, Sun said that there are many parties involved in the open-source arena, and not everyone is going to be happy with the final outcome of license agreements.

Sun made it clear that its main (and maybe even only) priority is the GPL version of the OpenJDK, and the GNU/Linux community. There will be more to come, I’m sure.
