Sun Looks To GPL3 For Java, Solaris

'"Will we GPL Solaris? We want to ensure we can interact with the GPL community and the Mozilla community and the BSD community," he says.'"

    And making it GPL3 will cut down interaction with GPL2 code. Looks more like bandwagon jumping and a rush for the patent protection coverage rather than a drive to "play nice" with anything else.
