Tomcat binary distributions (other than the LE version for 1.4-based JVMs) include the following Sun packages that are redistributable according to the Sun binary license: * activation.jar (JavaBeans Activation Framework APIs) * jdbc2_0-stdext.jar (JDBC 2.0 Optional Package APIs) * jndi.jar (Java Naming and Directory Interface APIs) * jta.jar (Java Transaction Architecture APIs) * mail.jar (JavaMail APIs) * jaas.jar (Java Authencation and Authorization Service APIs) The LE version of Tomcat doesn't include these, because they have all been built in to a JDK 1.4 JVM. Nearly all the other code is from Apache, under the Apache Software License. Exceptions include: * mx4j-jmx.jar (Open source implementation of JMX - license included) > Actually can I use the java sdk from sun in a business environment for > free ? As with all software, you need to obey the terms of the license. In the case of a Sun JDK, the terms and conditions are in the license you had to click through to download it.
