For those who have high hopes for GPLv2 Java coming to the N770, there is a downside. Jazelle is the ARM Java acceleration that is in the N770, but unused.

Chu adds, "We won't be able to put everything out there [under the GPL]. For example, in our commercial product, we have integration with Jazelle. Obviously, we cannot put that code into open source. So in the open source version, we will take out some of the pieces that have third party IP, that we don't have the right to open source. Whereas with the commercial product, in some cases, we already have some of those commercial relationships in place that allow us to include those pieces."
