Hi, =20 An extract from the licensing terms is given below. Do these terms hold good even now, after Sun revoked FreeBSD java license? Has this dispute between Sun and FreeBSD foundation settled? But, why such restrictions when Sun Java does not have any like this. Why should I go for commercial license when I want to package FreeBSD java in my security appliance? Do I have to? =20 I. Current Field of Use for Java SE =20 You may currently redistribute the combined FreeBSD and Java SE technologies so long as it is bundled with or integrated in Java-enabled general purpose desktop computers and servers, pursuant to your license with FreeBSD Foundation and you have executed a Trademark License with Sun (see Section III below). You may not distribute Java SE in any other devices or fields of use, including, without limitation, embedded applications, embedded devices, cell phones, wireless devices, TV devices, telematics devices and home gateway devices. =20 II. Additional Fields of Use Commercial Use =20 If you are interested in using the combined FreeBSD and Java SE technology in a field-of-use other than "Java-enabled general purpose desktop computers and general purpose servers", you will need to sign an additional commercial use license with Sun permitting redistribution in the desired field of use. There are fees associated with the commercial use license. In order to obtain the additional license for review and execution, please send an email to Freebsd_Sun_Info@sun.com =20 =20 Thanks, Reddy =20 =20 ________________________________ From: Bramananda Reddy Gopalswamy=20 Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2007 2:16 PM To: freebsd-java@freebsd.org Subject: FW: FreeBSD java license.. =20 Hi, =20 I tried posting my query to Freebsd_Sun_Info@sun.com <mailto:Freebsd_Sun_Info@sun.com> , but it bounced back. =20 Anybody else here can reply on this? =20 -Reddy =20 =20 ________________________________ From: Bramananda Reddy Gopalswamy=20 Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2007 1:51 PM To: Freebsd_Sun_Info@sun.com Subject: FreeBSD java license.. =20 Hi, =20 I am working on a project aiming to provide an on-box web interface for managing Force10 Networks's P-Series security appliances. P-Series offers high performance network traffic inspection, monitoring and capture at 10 Gbps. You can checkout this link for details.=20 =20 http://www.force10networks.com/products/pseries.asp =20 P-Series is currently based on FreeBSD operating system. =20 For providing a web-based management interface for P-Series, I plan to bundle FreeBSD JRE 1.5 and Tomcat 6 in the P-Series box. I tried downloading Diablo JRE from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml and read through the license agreement prompted. It was clear that Force10 needs to sign up a Trademark license agreement with Sun. But, I am not sure if I also have to execute a commercial license too. Pls clarify the terms and conditions and pricing details if any. =20 Expecting an earlier response. =20 Thanks, Bramanandha Reddy Engineering Manager Phone: +91-9884244485 Force10 Networks Inc. www.force10networks.com <http://www.force10networks.com/>=20 =20
