Open source, oh I thought you said "open sauce"!

If you're going to open source something like Java ME technology, you should expect some people will want a free lunch.

See:

Open source, open sauce, same thing... except one is spicier

Here's a quote:

 Open sourcing its software 
 is Sun's "seeding model" 
 to encourage more developers 
 to experiment with its 
 technologies... The hope is 
 once enterprises decide to 
 adopt Sun software, they'll 
 want to pay for maintenance 
 and support services and 
 then also look at its 
 hardware and storage 
 offerings...
Forget that! Go for the free (as in beer) software! Think about it... We're opening up all of the Java ME technology stacks with an OSI-compliant free software license. Why buy the coffee pot, when you can get the Java for free? ;-)
