I ***really*** hate to correct you Joseph as you have been the source of
incredibly detailed and accurate information but I think this would be a
concise and probably more accutrate history of what has been known as
Netscape DS...
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Roadmap#History
which clearly states that Sun is running with a 'fork' of what was
Netscape DS and that Red Hat bought the remnants outright (and has
endeavored to release it open source with GPL license). 

I am not knowledgeable about all of these things but I did download and
install it on my workstation (my server is running openldap) and I am
working through the issues of migrating my DSA over (slowly) but it
definitely requires java to run the console and I am gathering that it
is the mod_nss that provides the ssl and not openssl or gnutls. Thus, I
have yet to see where apache figures into the equation but I am still
playing around with it (my apache server is definitely not running but
fedora-ds and various fedora-ds consoles are indeed up and running).
