James Hughes and myself have had a last moment review of the JScience
JSR-275 beta dependency used in GeoTools (due to an IP complaint).

Long story short the, the actual JSR-275 has been withdrawn (and did not
have an open source license). Its replacement is taking shape (and looks
great) but does not have an open source license for the api (while it is
under development).

Since we are using a "beta" published by JScience (not Sun) our current
units library is under a BSD-3 clause license and is happily open source.

I have captured this on the wiki (
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Replace-JSR-275-Units-Library) in
case we need to replace the units library, a couple options are outlined,
including forking the JScience beta for our own units library (and avoiding
any future problems).
