I think I've missed some parts of this conversation, so apologies if the following is not relevant. Sun now seem to be very keen to license their software openly. I contacted them about the JavaCC product which claimed to be a BSD-license but had the restrictive "Nuclear", "Non-export" etc clauses in it[1]. They were very helpful and responsive. If Sun hold the copyright on the package in question, I suggest you contact them on: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - where people can address concerns and issues to Sun.
