The University NFSSRC License is $1000/SITE for unlimited use on the licensed campus. Universities may share their work derived from licensed source only to other universities which are licensed. I'm pretty sure that the Brown RT implementation falls into this category. There is, of course, no fee payable to Sun for distribution of public domain implementations.
