I'm afraid the license prohibits us from discussing the specific terms
and conditions. It certainly was not cheap, though.
There were no specific "hoops" involved - we needed strict compliance
with Sun's trademarks guidelines (we had to change our product names
three times, and our draft marketing material twice - but we would have
had to do that whether or not we became licensees), and the usual
problem with bureaucratic approval processes and paperwork.
