What does this mean necessarily? My understanding is you could create a bundler that is clear to spell out it is a bundler, and is just installing "Apache NetBeans + AdoptOpenJDK" as an example as long as it is just a redistribution of unchanged parts. Too, it seems we could provide an installer that downloads the JDK for the end user, but that also can create and output a bundled installer for that end user; they would be building and distributing it. They could then place that on any server they wish, that isn't Apache's, and share that; even use it to create their Enterprise installers. We could even have that allow all headless creation to allow it to work in scripted setups such as something using Ansible. We could even then have Oracle and Amazon use that, but certainly others like Pivotal or even an arrangement with AdoptOpenJDK to distribute could be made. Thanks Wade
