Hmmm, Debian's copyright file:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/ace/ace_5.6.3-5/libace-5.6.3.copyright
lists more stuff under non-Free Sun licenses. :-( I don't know how this passed
debian-legal, as those licenses are clearly non-Free and blatantly spelled out
in the copyright file. :-/

As you can see in the Debian copyright file, some of the core IIOP files carry
this notice:
> You may copy, modify, distribute, or sublicense the LICENSED PRODUCT
> without charge as part of a product or software program developed by
> you, so long as you preserve the functionality of interoperating with
> the Object Management Group's "Internet Inter-ORB Protocol" version
> one.  However, any uses other than the foregoing uses shall require
> the express written consent of Sun Microsystems, Inc.
which is clearly non-Free (because it bans using the software to implement a
different protocol).
