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.
