Java3D license problem (BSD License + additional restriction)

Project:Trisquel
Version:6.0
Component:License problems
Category:bug report
Priority:critical
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:wrong
Description

libjava3d-java include BSD License with addinital non-free license statement.

See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832853
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/09/msg00047.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/09/msg00028.html

This license is restrict specific purpose.
Its non-free, I think that violate GFSD. (violate Freedom 0, free software definition.)

Suggests:

1. remove non-free code and rebuild.

2. Replace non-free code to free (GSFD Free) code. (See Fedora Bugzilla)

3. Remove Trisquel repo. (Adding Blacklist)

Thanks.

This was discussed in debian-devel some time ago, and the conclusion was:

This is a standard "No warranty" clause wrt nuclear facilities in the US.
It is not a restriction placed on the use of the software in nuclear
facilities by the copyright holder,(...).

Warranty disclaimers are fine under the DFSG.
