License
There are currently various licenses for the modules that compose the JavaFX runtime:
• The core JavaFX runtime is still proprietary software and its code has not yet been released to the public, [5]
• The JavaFX compiler [6] and an older version of the 2D Scene graph [7] are released under a GPL v2 license,
• The NetBeans plugin for JavaFX is dual licensed under GPL v2 and CDDL. [5]
During development, Sun explained they will roll out their strategy for the JavaFX licensing model for JavaFX first
release. [8] After the release, Jeet Kaul, Sun's Vice president for Client Software, explained that they will soon publish
a specification for JavaFX and its associated file formats, and will continue to open source the JavaFX runtime, and
decouple this core from the proprietary parts licensed by external parties. [9]
