Java Update
===========

  In August of 2003, the FreeBSD Foundation released its first
  binary distribution of the Java runtime environment for the FreeBSD
  platform.  Since that time, the Foundation has funded additional
  development to port the Java 1.4.x to FreeBSD, and worked diligently
  to simplify the licensing process for "OEM" distribution of our
  binaries.  Work on the Java 5 port has also recently begun.  While
  we are pleased to report tremendous success in supporting Java
  development initiatives, our negotiations with Sun Microsystems have
  yielded few results.

  The seemingly constant restructuring at Sun has made it difficult
  to find and retain consistent contacts in their licensing program.
  The latest blow to our efforts was the recent notification of
  Sun's desire to revoke and renegotiate the FreeBSD Foundation's
  SCSL license.  From what we can determine, Sun is re-negotiating
  all SCSL licenses to standardize their Java revenue model.

  Even after receiving notice of the termination of our license
  attempts to contact Sun to renegotiate the license have gone
  unanswered.  For now, it is safe to assume that the Foundation
  will engage in another lengthy, and potentially costly, licensing
  negotiation before our binary distributions can continue.

  In the mean time, the FreeBSD Foundation is continuing its support
  for Java development.  With the recent introduction of Java 5.0,
  and FreeBSD 5/6's new KSE thread library, there is still much
  work to do.  This should ensure that FreeBSD continues to enjoy
  excellent Java support while we await resolution of the Java
  licensing issue.
