Right about the same time Micro$oft paid SCO for IP license rights, Sun 
also plunked down a few million for the same thing.  The news got 
swallowed up on the linux forums because M$ paid money.  Sun was right 
in there.  (I can't remember if it was $4.5 or $2 million but it was to 
license new stuff over and above their existing contracts.)
