Wikiversity courses are likely to require Java
Jmol, an open-source java applet (and application) for viewing 3D molecular structures. Children can, for example, explore the 3D structure and function of DNA as well as vitamins, drugs (such as anti-HIV drugs), or proteins (such as hemoglobin and its sickle disease variant common in Africa.
http://alice.org/ - Alice 3D Authoring system, from the Stage3 Research Group at Carnegie Mellon University. (judging from the hardware requirements that would probably be using the OLPC to the limits)

Do the following pages about Java becoming free and open source have implications for using Java on the OLPC laptop?

Initially, Java is not available on the laptop. JavaScript—technologically-wise unrelated to it—will be.

See "Thin client" for the implications of a server based approach.
