http://java.net/jrl.html

The JRL is a new license that was created specifically for universities and researchers who want to use Java[tm] technologies as subject matter for learning and research. it was written to simplify and relax the terms of the existing "research" section of the current SCSL.

This license is designed for the research community. This includes schools and universities as well as companies that are interested in investigating new products and services using Java technologies. This research license is only for initial research and development projects, and can be used for java.net projects among peers who have agreed to its terms. If you decide to use your project internally for a productive use, and/or distribute your product to others, you must sign a commercial agreement and meet the Java compatibility requirements.

The JRL is intended for all Java platforms, profiles, and standard extensions currently covered under Java SCSL licenses (e.g. J2SE, J2EE, and J2ME). For further information refer to the FAQ below.

FAQ
1. What is the Java Research License (JRL)?

The JRL is a license that was created specifically for universities and researchers who want to use java technologies as subject matter for learning and research. it was written to simplify and relax the terms of the existing "research" section of the current SCSL.

2. Have any terms of the license changed?

Yes. There is greater flexibility in working with the code for research use and the license is world wide, excluding Restricted Parties List (Embargoes countries,etc.) The language has been clarified and separated from the commercial terms so researchers and teachers should feel more confident with their usage rights.

3. Who is this license targeted to?

This license is designed for the research community. This includes schools and universities as well as companies who are interested in investigating new products and services using Java technologies.

4. Can i use the JRL for a project on java.net?

Yes, we encourage you to. If you have accepted the terms of the JRL, and if you are developing code based on a Java download, you can choose to use this license as an alternative to the SCSL for your research/development project on java.net.

5. How do I become a "JRL Licensee?"

To agree to the terms of the JRL, you must agree to the license for one of the supported platforms, profiles or extensions. See the list below. Once you agree to the terms of one of these downloads, you can apply your acceptance to all supported downloads.

6. What code is supported under the JRL?

We are supporting the JRL for the download packages on the list below. We will continue to add to this list throughout the year.

7. Does this license require a click-through acceptance of terms?

Yes. For enforceability, Sun requires a click-through license.

8. When do I need to get a commercial license?

This research license is only for initial research and development projects. If you decide to use your project internally for a productive use, and/or distribute your product to others, you must sign a commercial agreement and meet the java compatibility requirements.

9. Does this license cover all versions of Java?

The JRL is intended for all Java platforms, profiles and standard extensions currently covered under Java SCSL licenses (e.g. J2SE, J2EE and J2ME).

10. Am I required to purchase a support contract from Sun under this license?

No. A separate support contract is available but is not required.

11 Is the TCK available for research purposes?

Yes, a standalone TCK license is/will be available.

12. Am I required to keep my research "java compatible?"

No. The license encourages you to innovate and experiment using the java technology core. It is expected that research implementations will not be compatible with the Reference Implementation from Sun. This is ok.

13. Can I publish my source code at a conference, and in white papers?

Yes, you may publish your work in the usually accepted academic manner as long as you reference the Java Research License and include the correct copyright information.

14. Can I share my modifications with other researchers?

Yes, provided that the other researchers have accepted the JRL.

15. Can I distribute binaries of my research code?

Yes. You can distribute your binaries for research purposes under a license of your choice that complies with the terms of the JRL (e.g., includes copyright notices and references the JRL).

16. I am a current SCSL licensee, and want to use the JRL for research. Can I do this?

Yes. Current SCSL licensees can choose to use the JRL for research purposes, but they must click through the new license, and use the JRL notification in their work.

17. When will the license be available?

The JRL license has been posted for review on the java.net community site, at http://java.net/jrl.csp. It is currently being integrated into the java.net site, and will be available as a click-through option shortly.

18. Who can I contact if I have additional questions or comments?

You can send questions related to the JRL to JRLFeedback@sun.com, and/or post comments on the java-net project forum.

Java 研究许可
Java 研究许可（Java Research License，JRL）是 Java 源代码版本许可方案的新成员。在研究社团对 SCSI 中原来的研究部分提出诸多抱怨之后，专门针对大学和研究社团创建了 JRL。如果您是大学或者研究机构的老师或研究人员，那么下载具有 JRL 的源代码是比较合适的。许可中的研究使用权力部分规定，您可以用这项技术与其他也获得许可的人进行研究，修改代码，并发表您的研究。

但是，有一些灰色区域。许可说，您可以与其他人获得许可的人共享源代码；许可还说，如果不是主要的部分，您还可以分发对象代码以及发布源代码的摘录。现在，如果您计划教授您的研究，而您的学生要为课程付费（也就是说成为了商业行为，而不仅仅是研究目的），那么您就违反了许可。如果您想要根据通过 JRL 访问搜索到的材料来教学，那么建议您最好先咨询一下法律顾问。
