Aparat from the fact that such an act is illegal according to the
non-commercial license agreement, probably not much. AFAIK, Sun owns the code
for the bug fixes that blackdown produces and probably the ported code by
virtue of the fact Blackdown used Sun proprietary code to generate it.

IMO, the LGPL is a better idea for java. GPL'd code requires that any code
that even links to it be GPL'd. That would kill java in corporate america.
