Just to be clear, does this mean we can us it for production use if we
license it from Sun or is it just not allowed to be used in production.
If its not allowed to be used in production, is this because of technical
reasons or for marketing ones.

There are a couple of answers to this question.
The first is that the binary will be free, but it is _not_ for production
use.
It can be used for development and prototyping, of course. So you could use
it
commercially, but not for a production (final) product.
While plans have yet to be finalized, the J2EE source will be under SCSL.
The
usual way that SCSL works is that you may use and modify the source for
free,
until you put it into a production or commercial system. The thought there
is
that if you make money, so should we.
