That's good news, more free software is always nice to have. Thanks 
to Onno Kluyt from Sun (their chief JCP and JINI guy) for helping make
 it happen, and the rest of the JINI community.

On a side note, there has been some interesting research involving 
Kaffe and JINI implementations at ETH, that suggests that free runtimes 
are a pretty good environment to run JINI applications on.
