You're leaving out a case. I see that the user is exactly as burdened
as before, but Sun's burden is lifted. The user was already going to
be pilloried by the DOE for using Java to run a nuke. The only
question is whether he can shift his burden to Sun. Sun's doing
something to make that harder, and not requiring anything but
acknowledgement of true facts from the user to do it.
