Technically true, but I doubt they are interested in Joe User. Rant/Aside: I can tell you that they are very eager to discuss licensing with large firms, and their licensing terms have gotten even less palatable in the last 2 years. Initially, they wanted companies to license Java on devices it was used within an org, but that must not have been good enough or lucrative enough. So, now, they license Java for all devices in a company. If you want to license Java for 1 PC, you need to license it for all PCs in the company. Irrespective of your personal view of the language and technology, it's a sad situation.
