I may have quoted too little from <http://java3d.java.net/#Licenses>. It 
looks like parts of Java 3D are BSD and parts are modified GPLv2; that 
is what prompted my question.

"The source code for the j3d-core-utils and j3d-examples projects is 
licensed under the open source Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) 
License.

"The source code for the j3d-core and vecmath projects is licensed under 
the open source GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2, with the 
CLASSPATH exception. This is the same open-source license that OpenJDK 
is now using."

Am I reading this right?
