The jswdk license is under Sun's Binary Code License Agreement. A copy is included
with the jswdk as license.txt.
The sections you are interested in are (cut and pasted from license.txt):
1. License Sun grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable license for the
internal use only
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND SERVLET JAR FILE
DISTRIBUTION SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE TERMS
2. License to Distribute.
Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free limited license
to reproduce and distribute the
servlet classes contained in the Software in the archive files "servlet.jar"
and "server.jar" ("Servlet JAR Files")
You should read the entire license agreement if you have not already as there are
further restriction to redistribution. Also, Sun is currently in negotiations with
Apache to redistribute the jswdk (aka: "Tomcat") under the Apache license, which is
considerably more generous. The timeline for this handover is "real soon now", but
it has been "real soon now" for quite some time...
