Do we want to do that? I mean (and I am not saying it is, I am asking) 
is that a bit grey? I would prefer it be black and white.

Are their JVMs that are BSD compatible? It is my understanding that you 
can ship Java (I could be completely on crack here) in a closed source 
product without issue right?

If so... then wouldn't our argument be to strongly suggest that they use 
the Sun JVM (or IBM if that is relevant?).

Sincerely,
