        Paired with this issue: does anyone know what the
kind of redistribution of the JavaOS drivers is allowed?  I would guess
that individual manufacturers don't particularly care, but Sun might have
something against letting the drivers it ships with JavaOS spread to the
four routers of the internet.

        As for the legal ramifications of cloning the JavaOS APIs, we'll
be engaged in an even more time-honored approach than Open Source
"tail-light chasing" -- reverse engineering!
