The Java Research License, or JRL, is a software distribution license created by Sun in an effort to simplify and relax the terms from the "research section" of the SCSL. Sun's J2SE 1.6.0, Mustang, is licensed under the JRL as well as many projects at 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 distribution license.
