Michael,

We've been through this before with Sun.  The issue is "exporting to
banned countries".  You can NOT distribute Java 3D technology via your
own website if you can't guarantee it can't be reached by users in
banned countries.  Hence my belief is that what you proposed is
technically illegal (I sure wish it wasn't).
