Absolutely. We're developers, not lawyers. That being said...

The general (non-SableVM) common sense consensus should be that if your
code can run unmodified on any JVM, Sun's especially, then really what
license the JVM and class library themselves use is pretty irrelevant.
This is using a common and published interface. Doing the above should
be your aim anyway, to give businesses the most flexibility to use any
JVM they can (be it CVM, SableVM, J9, Wonka, etc)

With that dealt with, what your own application code links to (ie
loading JNI libraries from application code or importing, say, the
BouncyCastle java libraries for crypto) is entirely your problem -
regardless of which JVM+Classlib you run under.

Thanks,

Steph
