Brian is probably referring to this quote from Sun VP Jim Mitchell: "Those companies were playing the Community Source game already," Mitchell said. "When you license Jini and return changes, you're not giving them to Sun, you're giving them to the Jini community. Sun has no special rights to them that I'm aware of. The real value of open source is that innovation springs up all around. Programmers have a very natural tendency to make things better for the whole community, and we want to tap into that." However, I see that as a comparison to open source, not a claim that their Community Source license is an open source license.
