Follow-up Comment #5, task #4867 (project administration):

Hi,
i have observed that all the j2me related packages are released under a
license called "Sun Community Source Licensing (SCSL)"
the license is here(requires login; uploaded a copy
here:http://www.geocities.com/iqbaltabrez/scsl.txt):
https://sdlcweb3a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/DownloadPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.DownloadPageInfo;jsessionid=4982E4B2204D24349991EC5A2E5A44A0;jsessionid=4982E4B2204D24349991EC5A2E5A44A0?viewLicenceId_5=

i read part of the document more than once but could not follow fully the
complicated lingo used there, but i think the following is most relevant to
my requirements:
[quote]
2.1
a) Research Use License:  (i) use, reproduce and modify the
Original Code, Upgraded Code and Specifications to create
Modifications and Reformatted Specifications for Research
Use by You,

2.2
a) To Other Licensees.  You hereby grant to each Licensee a
license to Your Error Corrections and Shared Modifications,

here is what Sun has to say when downloading MIDP:
http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/j2me/midp/download.xml

especially this is relevant:
"[...]as well as compliant implementations running on Solaris and Linux
platforms. These packages include the source code and binary runtime of J2ME
MIDP,[...]"

here is the source code of MIDP available for download(requires registration
and login):
http://192.18.97.251/ECom/EComTicketServlet/BEGIN6A0A6A62CD7A7955011C5986488359AD/105863979/1145718003/1/250382/250382/1145718003/xmzZndezB81HYlfGYdXI/westCoastFSEND/ESD3/commsrc/MIDP/2.0/midp-2_0-src-linux-i686.zip

so i believe that Sun's J2ME may not exactly be Free software true to FSF
philosophy, but it does give the users some basic freedom like looking at the
source code, modifying and then releasing it to the others. is this license
and the availability of the source code sufficient for me to be able to host
my project at savannah?

thanks,
tabrez.
