Yes, there may be legal issues we don't want to get into.

Perhaps a Java API similar to the scsh (Scheme Shell),
which provides a nice wrapper around Posix APIs.
E.g.
package gnu.posix;
public class Process
{
 static int fork ();
 static void exec(String[] args);
 ...;
}
public class File
{
 static int open(String name, int mode);
 ...
}
One might think someone already has done something similar.
