I was looking at how to solve the licensing issues that cause the
rhino debugger not to be included by default in 1.7R1, and made an
interesting find. Looking at the example page for the code in
question, the unzipped java files actually contain a different license
notice than the ones in the zipped archive, and it looks very much
like a BSD license (without the old advertising clause):

http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/#source_code
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/AbstractCellEditor.java
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/JTreeTable1.java
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModel.java
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModelAdapter.java

Strangely, the files in the zip file downloaded by the debugger ant
script uses a different license notice. My guess is that it just
wasn't updated when the license was changed (it actually isn't linked
on the example page).

Now I'm no licensing expert, but a look at 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/License_Policy
and some googling around suggests that this would allow us to actually
import these files in Rhino CVS as third party code. Am I wrong?
