"...will be provided to Linux users under a free non-commercial license
similar to that used by Sun's Java Development Source code."

"...have already agreed to help port this JIT to other versions of Linux
and make those ports freely available in binary code." -- BINARY!

"Metroworks owns all modifications, enhancements and bug fixes made by
or for Licensee to the Licenced Software."

"If [use is for] productive use such as product development [...],
Licensee must execute a commercial license agreement with Metrowerks"

It even has a non-disclosure clause!!

If you want to become an unpaid employee of Metroworks, go ahead.
Signing the agreement could make you ineligible to work on other Java
tools.

I have a bridge in New York and some Florida land that Metroworks
customers may also be interested in...
