Sun Microsystems is built on the principles of openness and innovation. We've contributed more code to the open source community than any other company on earth and we're committed to furthering its future. I believe that we in the technology industry have a responsibility to remove the barriers to participation on the network and help fuel innovation and economic opportunity -- and I believe open source helps us reach that goal.
