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.
