Line 1:
The '''Java Research License''', or '''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 [http://java.net Java.net].
 
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.
