A couple of points:

What does Corba have to do with SUN? Basically SUN has embraced and extended Corba. The two will coexist but SUN has delivered what the industry wanted - standard platform for Internet distributed development with a solid set of APIs, great language and all OO. Its more than Corba but Corba fits in well. RMI and Corba are being 'harmonized'.

As for Sun not making money and your comment about open source. The J2EE standard is definitely NOT open source and SUN charges 2-3% royalties on all sales of products that wish to use the J2EE compliant logo. This is what caused friction betwen IBM and SUN as IBM developed much of J2EE yet must also pay to use the logo. They have so far AFAIK refused to use it and pay.
