We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

The FSF owns the copyrights on GNU Classpath, gcc and gcj. So it is FSF's project.
The contributors come from all over the world, including Red Hat. Red Hat has been doing a great amount of very nice work on all sorts of GNU projects, including gcj and GNU Classpath. They've been spearheading efforts to make a nice, modern implementation of graphics toolkits as specified by the standard Java APIs, among other things.
Neverthless, the GNU Classpath maintainer does not work for Red Hat, as Jon seems to imply.
If Jon bothered to look through the ChangeLogs of GNU Classpath at http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/classpath/ChangeL... for this year, I think it would have been quite obvious to him that GNU Classpath is far from being a Red Hat project.
