Just make sure you distribute the source code for it to your users.
Just to clarify: Depends what you mean by "it". If you mean the VM, that may not be enough, since in an embedded environment it is likely the VM is linked in with the commercial product. In that case you may also have to freely redistributing source for the commercial product. (Of course we know that Free ("open-source") Software is not incompatible with it being commercial (i.e. for-profit) - but it is incompatible with it being proprietary ("closed-source").) -- --Per Bothner address@hidden http://per.bothner.com/
