specifically, the Sun Java license restricted redistribution of the 
runtime, and it wasn't opensource at all.   further, it had type-of-use 
restrictions, you had to agree not to run 'standard edition' (free) on 
mobile phones, the licensing required a specific J2ME edition for phone 
use which was NOT free.
