There is a free vecmath implementation, Bryan posted a link to it a few 
days ago, when the Java3d subject came up for the first time. There is 
no free software implementation of the Java3d apis, afaik. I doint't 
think there is a free implementation of JAI, yet, either. If you're 
looking for a nice project ... go for it :)
