At the risk of triggering an emotional response in L.McVoy, I'll point out that we've been though this already. Sun has been working behind the scenes to help the development of UltraPenguin. They provided access to hardware and information.
I agree that the message was a little ambiguous: it wasn't clear whether their support was "new" (i.e. supporting future developments in UltraPenguin) or "existing" (i.e. supported the original work in UltraPenguin). From various responses, I gather their support was "existing" and is ongoing.
Regards,
