I am unaware of the licensing agreement the blackdown guys have with SUN but I suspect it'll be the SCSL. If it is then, sure enough, SUN have every right to release it under their own banner.
The "stealing" argument would, therefore, be inappropriate BUT I feel that SUN are well out of line for not giving credit to the Blackdown team for it's efforts. To be fair, it may be SUN have given credit although it sure ain't in the original press release.
Oh, and until SUN have native threads support, I'll be sticking with the Blackdown port for which I am very grateful.
