Rightly to be paranoid about this. A number of books out there right
now on Swing liberally include source code from Sun's implementation;
don't buy such books. The books on J2EE (which I think O'Reilly has
one) all contain the SCSL license which you essentially agree to by
reading the book. J2EE and PersonalJava both seem to be difficult to
implement based on the license/copyright of the specification or parts
thereof. Hopefully future versions of standard Java from Sun will not
go the same direction.
