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 [[SCSL]]. Sun's [[J2SE]] 1.6.0, ''[[Mustang (java)\|Mustang]]'', is licensed under the JRL as well as many projects at [http://java.net Java.net]. Although the JRL claims to be an open source license in some aspects, it forbids any commercial use and is thusly incompatible with both the [[Free Software Definition]] and the [[Open Source Definition]]. It is therefore classified as a [[non-free software\|non-free]] distribution license. == See Also == * [[Sun Microsystems]] * [[~~wikisource~~s:Java Research License\|Java Research License]] – full text of the JRL == External Links ==
