Nobody who knows can give you the specifics, but "encumbered"
generally means that there are legal restrictions on how the code must
be handled.  Some aspect of it (or of the documentation used to
produce it) are controlled by an entity outside of Sun.

There are a few things we have that are "encumbered" in one way or
another.  In some cases, we can freely share the binaries, but not the
source.  In others, the binaries must be individually licensed.
