I dont know yet, and I'm waiting to talk to Sun's lawyers to see just what
they want me to do.  Apparently the major problem was that I had copies
of some PDF files that were obtained from www.sun.com, still mirrored on
teh site after they were removed from the www.sun.com site, and the 
SunHELP logo.

(at least according to the letter I got, which is going up as soon as I 
have access to a scanner)
