It's just namespace collision; Sun's GridEngine has nothing to do with
the Grid work of Globus, NCSA, NPACI, IPG, Grid Forum, and everyone
else.

Grid Engine is much more like Condor, LSF and others. It'd be possible
for them to use the Grid services from Globus - we're doing that with
Condor, for example...
