Yes, whenever SUN is involved, watch out! Their lawyers sue their own
fathers for using their name, just to piss them off. Unlike M$ who goes out
of their way to foster community spirit and will do anything to get you to
use their stuff, with SUN you better count on their lawyers hassling you
and trying to chase you to the M$ camp.
Unless you have it in writing PRECISELY how much can be cloned in the
interest of standardization, you better stick to clean room procedure all
the way and re-invent the wheel.
