I presume the "non-nuclear" restriction was a copy of the original Sun
licensing which has the non-nuclear facility caveat ? What was the
intended purpose at Sun of this ? What was the intended purpose by
iText authors by mimicking this ?

* Just a user beware the software should not be used in any real-time
life threatening computerized system (due to the garbage collection
effect with non-linear processing time) ?

* Because the authors have a specific issue with the software being used
within the atomic nuclear industry, if so was this to cover power
stations ? material processing? weapons ? or some form of
anti-nuclear protest ?


If the original conception of the thought that is embodied by the
wording can be understand then the intent of the statement can be fully
understood and a course of action be taken.
