Yes, I noticed that :) But the oswego stuff does not redistribute the
sun binaries, it contains classes based on source code from sun - that's
why I thought we are safe.
I have no idea, but the license talks about derivative works, which

To be clear, I will repost the paragraph in question:
Sun hereby grants Doug Lea a non-exclusive, worldwide,
non-transferrable license to use, reproduce, create derivate works
of, and distribute the Java Software and derivative works thereof in
source and binary forms as part of a larger work, and to sublicense
the right to use, reproduce and distribute the Java Software and
Doug Lea's derivative works as the part of larger works through
multiple tiers of sublicensees provided that the following
conditions are met:
I assume we would be considered a sublicenser of this, which I assume
means we have to abide by the same terms of the license as the one
provided to Doug.
