The OSI-approved CDDL license is being used for project GlassFish which ALLOWS developers to view, use, edit, and alter the code, and DISTRIBUTE it or use it in production. Portions of this code are not yet available in source form. Because of this, a few portions are currently also under a Binary Distribution License. As time goes on, we’ll make more of the code available, with the eventual goal of making all the code available, and removing the Binary Distribution license. This isn’t some sort of evil plot – it’s hard work moving stuff out into an Open environment, we expect to have a roadmap for our timing for this published by the END of the Summer.

PEOPLE who want to REDISTRIBUTE a build of our application server do not have a license to use the CTS nor can they use the Java Compatibility brand. They may choose to sign a JDL commercial license and pass the CTS which would then allow them to distribute the code and use the Java Compatibility brand.
