*shrug* They come in all flavors.  I don't mean to start a licensing
war, but all licenses have some restrictions or other (and hence
not strictly "free").  The only truely free IP is in the public domain.

I have my favorite and licenses I care less about.  I'm glad to see
sun grant access to their sources, no matter how you want to
categorize their license.  Would I want to use it in a product?
Probably not, but it will be useful the next time I need to know
EXACTLY how something works.
