In the course of trying to package Java3D for Fedora, Tom Calloway
brought to my attention that the Java3D license includes the following
statement:
* You acknowledge that this software is not designed, licensed or
* intended for use in the design, construction, operation or
* maintenance of any nuclear facility.
In addition to being incompatible with Fedora licensing practices, that
seems to violate section 6 ("Fields of Endeavor") of the DFSG and the
corresponding section of the OSI Open Source Definition.
I haven't looked at the Debian Java3D package, but am wondering whether
Debian has somehow circumvented this problem, or if it is not a problem
for the inclusion of Java3D in Debian.
Sincerely,
Eric Smith
