Mark,

From http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html

"The source code for Rhino is available under MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0 license."

My guess is that it may be the lack of a Classpath Exception which is the real culprit.

Thankfully, IANAL either.

Yes, license problems. Rhino is licensed under the MPL, which is fundamentally incompatible with the GPL. - Mark (IANAL)
