The lawyers are thinking extra-double hard about this (thanks for
pointing it out).
When they decide something, I'll let you know.
Glad to be of help. :)
In the interim, if you wanted to try to resolve the licensing issue with
Sun, that might not be a bad idea. :)
Here is my old bug report (they basically said they weren't shipping the
code, which is not true, and left it at that):

I also tried contacting some of the jj2000 authors a year ago, and they
basically said that as reference software for ISO, "the code becomes
pretty flexible to use", but didn't know about open source interoperability.
