Sun is just giving it away...

Sun recently announced they would give away their Encryption Key Software. Read on a little further before you rush to take up this free offer, as it is only the the APIs they are preparing to share, "...which are how the KMS talks to an encryption device."

So everything else is gonna cost ya. Could this be a cunning way to promote the sale of more Sun hardware?

The KMS standard is still very much work in progress and this could turn into another classic betamax and vhs or even the more current HD-DVD vs Bluray battle.
