The '''Java Research License''' ('''JRL''') is a software distribution [[license]] created by [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] in an effort to simplify and relax the terms from the "research section" of the [[Sun Community Source License]]. Sun's [[Java Platform, Standard Edition|J2SE]] 1.6.0, ''[[Java (software platform)|Mustang]]'', is licensed under the JRL as well as many projects at [https://web.archive.org/web/20100613131851/http://www.java.net/ Java.net].
The JRL was introduced in 2003 to try to "make things a lot more friendly to people doing academic research" into the Java language,<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Java license to spark research |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-java-license-to-spark-research/ |access-date=2023-01-11 |website=ZDNET |language=en}}</ref> before the core of Java was made open source in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Martens |first=China |date=2006-11-13 |title=It's official: Sun open sources Java |url=https://www.infoworld.com/article/2077658/it-s-official--sun-open-sources-java.html |access-date=2023-01-11 |website=InfoWorld |language=en}}</ref>
Although the JRL has elements of an open source license, the terms forbid any commercial use and are thus incompatible with both the [[Free Software Definition]] and the [[Open Source Definition]]. The JRL is a research license to be used for non-commercial academic uses.
