Sun was confusing a number of people by having 'glassfish' on one side
and 'sun java system app server' on the other side while the two
products were really one and the same. So we changed the later name to
"Sun GlassFish Enterprise".
Everything I've described (including all the clustering/LB parts) is
part of the open source bits. Sun GlassFish Enterprise is essentially
a supported offering from Sun. One notable exception is GlassFish
Enterprise Manager [1] which provides advanced production tools for
supported customers.
Note also that the release model of GlassFish is to ship the open
source and supported bits at the same time with the same level of
quality.
I'd recommend you listen to the latest episode of the GlassFish
Podcast where this is explained
