I thought the nuclear clause was merely an observation, and thus not a
restriction? I.E. Java is not licensed for use in a nuclear power plant
in the same way that I'm not licensed to drive a truck, or to operate a
public house.
While poorly phrased (especially when read from the context of someone
who deals with licenses all day), is the possibility that it could be
misinterpreted sufficient to be a discrimination against a field of
endeavour? Would a simple 'Yeah, we meant license-as-in-certification'
statement from Sun suffice?
