Well, it seems that you confirm my statements. Sun is very defensive because 
they are in fear of being sued. So if there is any probability for being sued, 
Sun will stop distrbitung software (like they did e.g. with libcdio).

I don't know what Simon Phipps did tell Debian but it must have been convinvcing
as the result was that Debian agreed on starting to distribute cdrtools again 
as soon as possible.
