The right to USE a piece of code does not grant the right to DISTRIBUTE (or
even look at!) the source.  Commercial software sellers grant you a licence
to use their system, rather than selling you the system, for just this reason.
What this probably implies (I'm not a lawyer either...) is that Gosling has
to make the compiled program available for use (if this is what the AT&T
license agreement says).  This does not grant you permission to look at the
source, much less use it in a system of your own.
