The code of the examples and the code of the utilities are published 
under 'nuclear BSD' licence, i.e. BSD without advertising clause but 
with a 'don't build nukes with this' warning disclaimer.

The API implementation and vecmath are not open source, unfortunately. 
Sun's marketing gave the wrong impression there, they forgot to mention 
that core parts of Sun's implementation of Java3d remain non-free. :)

But it is certainly sweet that they released more code under open source 
licenses.
