Dear Maintainer,

The file src/examples/Clock.java incorporates a non-free license, stating 

Sun grants you ("Licensee") a non-exclusive, royalty free, license to use,
modify and redistribute this software in source and binary code form,
provided that i) this copyright notice and license appear on all copies of
the software; and ii) Licensee does not utilize the software in a manner
which is disparaging to Sun.

This breaks at least DFSG-6, due to the "disparaging to Sun Microsystems"
clause.

Best regards,

--
