What is the commercial position of Helix - are there restrictions to the HelixCode being put on a future SuSE distro?

Yes - Helix wants royalties for using their logo and brand name on a distribution.

How does Helix make money?

By charging royalties and additional support contracts.

Do they get sponsorship, from Sun et al?

I don't know - they do have venture capitalists, though. LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Yeah...and some day the sun will die out.
