What's to prevent Sun from taking control of E, or any other capability 
based software, using the following patents:

PN/5,781,633
PN/5,852,666
PN/6,161,121

The ERTP seems to be covered by:
PN/6,161,121

which issued on Dec 12, 2000.

The listed inventors on these patents are all on this list. How do these 
patents affect your current work. Are you sure you are not developing a 
captive product?
