Legal issues

This Java runtime environment is a clean-room implementation of the JVM specification. We have not obtained a Java license from Sun and therefore the system can not be called a Java system. The source code is released under the GPL with an exception statement. The exception allows you to use it together with closed-source code as long as you only use the provided interface components.
