Walter: I have just posted a notice to debian-legal about the availability of new DLJ FAQ [1] which further clarifies our intent. It is not the intent of the DLJ to prevent running Jython.
Please see the new FAQ #13 #14 and #15 [2]. If Sun wanted to discourage innovations like Jython and JRuby we would not leave web content on our official web sites that referred to them [3]. A further demonstration that prohibiting Jython is not our intent is through an award at JavaOne 2006 for the Java Model Railroad Interface (JMRI) which includes Jython [4]. Indeed the governance organization that guides the evolution of Java Platform(TM), the JCP [5], has specifically endorsed this entire *class* of innovations by adding a supporting bytecode, invokedynamic, to the Java programming language [6]. You may close this bug without making Jython conflict with sun-java.
