I've gatheres so much after reading a bit about the background of SWT
(or IBM JVM) and why it isn't activly promoted and developed for a
broader audiance (SWT is basicly 'only what eclipse needs', nothing
more).

Anyway, I'm quite biased, as until now I was only a 'consumer', and
this and other 'unfree' lizenses never happend to limit what I wanted
to do.

I might need a bit debian-legal reading to get into a different /the
right mind for Debian :)
