Half way down it says:
Will Oracle support Java and OpenSolaris User Groups, as Sun has?
Yes, Oracle will indeed enthusiastically support the Java User
Groups, OpenSolaris User Groups, and other Sun-related user group
communities (including the Java Champions), just as Oracle actively
supports hundreds of product-oriented user groups today. We will be
reaching out to these groups soon.
Supporting doesn't necessarily mean continuing the Open Source projects!

"There may be some things we choose not to open source going forward,
similar to how MySQL manages certain value-add[s] at the top of the
stack," Roberts said. "It's important to understand the plan now is to
deliver value again out of our IP investment, while at the same time
measuring that with continuing to deliver OpenSolaris in the open."
"This will be a balancing act, one that we'll get right sometimes, but
may not always."

From the feedback data I've seen customers dislike this type of
licensing model most. Dan may or may not be reading this, but I'd
strongly discourage this approach. Without knowing more I don't know
what alternative I could recommend though.. (Too bad I missed that irc
meeting..)
