Its not a use restriction, it reads:
"You acknowledge that Software is not designed,licensed or intended for use in
the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility."

Oh darn it is a use restriction, notice the not licensed, I thought it was just 
a warning (which it would be if you remove the work licensed from the sentence).

So again ask Sun for a waiver, in this case just removing the work "licensed" 
from this sentence will do.
