That was not the intention of my comments; licenses are not cast
in stone and they change like the OpenOffice license changes.
But the license situation is not likely to change: Sun is
in control of which license is used and that fact is not
likely to change.
And from the point of the discussion, as long as the license
is not GPL people will bicker and as such the situation will
not change on the mailing list either so it's best to not
spend much time discussing this.
