Hi folks,
Could someone please look at this license[1] and decide if it can be included in fedora? I found a thread here that says its gpl-incompatible, but I want to just make sure.
The j3d library makes use of this. I was in the middle of packaging it.
Thanks, Ankur

It is not a free software license, for at least the following reason: clause 1(c) contains a restriction on commercial use that appears to be nonfree based on the Sun RPC precedent[0].
In quick net search I found some information suggesting software under this license may have later been licensed under LGPL, so you may want to look into that.
