The SPL web site says specifically that this is the place to get these 
queries answered.  On http://www.netbeans.org/about/legal/license.html, 
you will find the paragraph:

"If you have any questions about the license, what it allows and 
prohibits, we suggest you head over to the Mozilla License forum - the 
SPL and Mozilla really are close enough to identical that any queries 
you have are best addressed there:
