First, Sun Microsystems wouldn't do it. Then Sun teased us with it. Now, on Nov. 13, Linux-Watch has learned that Sun will finally open-source its implementations of Java under the GNU GPL v2.
Sun will release the first pieces of source code for Sun's implementation of JSE (Java Platform Standard Edition) and a buildable implementation of JME (Java Platform Micro Edition).

eWeek's coverage does seem to have disappeared, but this link was valid before. Anyway, because it seems they took it down for some reason, I changed the link to point to coverage at ZdNet.

This really is huge news. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that with the exception of the Linux kernel itself, this is probably the most important piece of software that has ever been contributed to GPL.
