Project GLASSFISH opens up Java EE to a larger audience that will ultimately be the customers of the Java EE licensees. GlassFish does not change any of the LICENSE TERMS for licensees. Under their license terms, licensees can still sell or distribute code and use the Java Compatibility brand for products which have passed the TCK. Under the license terms of the CDDL, which is granted to developers, they can use, EDIT, and alter the code, and distribute it or use it in PRODUCTION. However they do not have a license to use the CTS nor can they use the Java Compatibility brand.
