Dear all,

I need to work on a jai-imageio-core package for Java. Did anyone
started anything about this package ? This will have to go in non-free
at best.

Thanks much

Looking at LICENCE file [1], this clause seems non-free regarding DFSG :
-----------
You acknowledge that this software is not designed or intended for
use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any
nuclear facility.
-----------
=> This is a field of usage restriction (so against DFSG §5).

Yes, it seems right to read it this way.
BTW, xmlroff [1] - already in main - as a similar licence.

Well, except it's not a restriction. Nothing in that says that the
software cannot be used in such a facility, only that the person accepting
the license acknowledges that it was not "designed or intended" for such
use. I think that's benign.
