However, the Sun compilers and the IDE are not currently
considered part of the kernel package. They are sold as a
separate product (Sun Studio) and they are expensive: $3k
for a single seat license last time I checked, which is
more than I'm willing to pay for a single seat compiler
license.
Sun Studio generates a fair amount of revenue for Sun,
and it is unlikely (IMHO) that it will be open sourced.
I would however be very happy to be proven wrong ;-)
