GPL purists say the SCSL doesn't go far enough. If you sell a Java product,
you'll have to pay Sun on the back end. A razorblades strategy. Also, if you
donate bug fixes, there is no guarantee that your fix will be redistributed
to the world. Regardless, it's a step in the right direction and a heck of a
lot better than anything Microsoft has

You can get source code here:
http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/java2/
It requires accepting a license. I'm not even going to read it, never mind
accept, but some people might be interested!
