(SUN UNVEILS NEW LICENSING MODEL FOR THE JAVA(TM) 2 PLATFORM)
...
The new licensing model for the Java technology continues to provide
source code for noncommercial (research and education) purposes and
continues to provide the Java Runtime Environment binary to software
programmers and developers for incorporation into products free of
charge. However, the new model is far more open in that it:
* Allows commercial entities to use and modify the source code for
commercial software product development without charge.
* Allows innovation on the source code without requiring that
innovation be returned to Sun.
* Allows commercial entities to modify and share compatible source
code with other commercial entities without charge and without
mediation from Sun.
* Allows licensees to package for resale Sun's Java platform class
libraries with virtual machines from other licensees.
