The Inquirer article mentions the GPL but I can't find any indication of 
licensing terms on Sun's own Project Darkstar page, except for the SDK 
download which appears to be a very restrictive "non-commercial" 
license.  They say "open source" right on the first page, but I can't 
find any indication that they actually mean it.
