The license which covers JSwat 3.x, the Sun Public License, is being deprecated by the Open Source Initiative (the group that approves licenses as being "open source"). The new license put forth by Sun is the Common Development and Distribution License, or CDDL (pronounced "cuddle"). This is basically SPL "2.0", or "SPL without the warts." I will be changing the JSwat 3.x code to the new license in the next month. Since this is essentially a license upgrade, rather than a change to a different license, I don't foresee any problems with this. Send comments or questions to this list. Thanks n
