Sono uno di quelli che legge le licenze fino in fondo... quella del SDK di 
Java mi pare tutto sommato ragionevole per uso professionale, con la 
'piccola' eccezione dei due punti che riporto sotto.

Uno dei motivi che mi hanno convinto a vincere la mia pigrizia e ad 
abbandonare Windows e' stata l'introduzione di condizioni simili da parte di 
Microsoft: non provo il minimo desiderio di ritrovarmele sotto Linux. Tra 
l'altro queste sono perfino peggiori (vedi al punto 6 "Other Software").
