If the Beanshell is unmodified and the required notices are in place
(as specified by section 3.5 of the license), then I see no obvious
cause for concern with this license.

Pat does not actually distribute the license(s) itself, so this from the
netbeans site :

See: http://www.sun.com/developers/spl.html

If I read it correctly, since you distribute only a binary that you receive
from Beanshell, it is his obligation to address 3.1 - 3.5, and your
obligations are under 3.6, which state that "you include a notice stating
that the Source Code version of [Beanshell] is available under the terms of
this License."

FYI: I found the license by thus:

http://www.beanshell.org/ =>
http://www.beanshell.org/license.html =>
http://www.sun.com/developers/spl.html

Anyway, I agree with Noel's conclusion.

P.S. As copyright holder, Pat is not bound by this license. However, it does appear that he has addressed sections 3.1 - 3.5, presuming that no modifications were made to the binary received from the Beanshell site.
