I gathered (from the outside — no inside knowledge) it was two big things:

* A response to Java lawsuits

* Something to work on that is interesting

But you raise a good point — why let go of Linux? Seems like a risky case of rewrite-from-scratch.

What are the odds it works out? It's not a sure thing. And what would the benefits be?
