To answer Gopalarathnam Venkatesan's query about Sun Java not being
available for Linux - that is not true. Sun Java is indeed available for
Linux, it is just that it is not available for all distributions of Linux.
The point which is being made is that Sun Java is *not* FOSS. It is
non-free software. So, if you are saying that Linux is loaded with
FOSS and claim to be using Sun Java, you are using non-free software
for Linux...
