The language in the jini license is sufficiently scary that
I abandoned a jini startup effort this past week. Just
getting the jini infrastructure in place was a significant
effort I thought, and if it turned out I liked what I
developed and wanted to deploy it within my company, then,
if I understand all that licensing talk, I would have to go
to the company lawyers and have them hash out a usage
agreement with Sun. It's interesting, but not THAT
interesting. Don't know if SOAP is any better or worse in
that regard.
