The ad on the product page http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/
says - "Always Open. Now Free."

Is that right?  I don't think that captures the essence of what's
happened.  I like "Always free. Now Free." or something like that.

Anyway, it goes without saying that this was a huge move on Sun's part
and will be great for all involved.  Good work Sun.
