Stephen Colebourne's Weblog: "The precise details of the FOU are confidential at the behest of Sun, however in summary they state (rather absurdly) that the tested code cannot be run on a PC in an enclosed environment. Thus, you could run a tested version of Harmony on your PC providing it is running on your desktop. But if you pick the machine up and place it in an enclosed cabinet, such as inside an X-Ray machine, or an shopping mall information kiosk, then you would be breaking the FOU clause.
Sounds absurd? Well it is yes.
But remember, Sun didn't need something sensible. They just needed something, anything, to stop Harmony."
