The license for Kawa and the packages it depends on
is a "modified Gnu Public License". You can find it in
the file COPYING
in the Kawa sources, and
also quoted here:.

People have asked what the Kawa license means in practice. Informally, you get to pick between these choices:
java
or javax

In general, if the license of Kawa or associated packages causes difficulties, let me know.
