We have released a GPL Java Code Coverage tool, called: jcoverage.

The web site reads Commercial users may evaluate jcoverage for a period not exceeding 15 days using the GPL version. Thereafter commercial users must either stop using the GPL version of jcoverage, or purchase the non-GPL licensed version.

While the intent is understandable, the license for the program
with these strings attached is no longer GPL. You should consult
a real and experienced lawyer on this, the FSF can become quite
unhappy about misuse of the term "GPL".

Also the need to have a *commercial* tool (read: pay money) in order
to get the source can be seen as a contradiction to GPL terms, you
might want to think about this too.
