desktop-discuss would know the best about specific JDS files, but in
general, only things in Solaris 10 specifically listed as Open Source
are free to copy - Solaris 10 was not and is not a fully Open Source
OS - while most of the desktop is open source, portions like StarOffice
were not, and most of the underlying OS is not.
