The JRE should be distributed complete and unmodified, i.e. you can't just pick the parts you like (as in the current situation). See attached message from Toad and full license at

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to the Java Technology Restrictions of these Supplemental Terms, Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without fees to reproduce and distribute the Software, provided that (i) you distribute the Software complete and unmodified (unless otherwise specified in the applicable README file) and only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, your Programs, (ii) the Programs add significant and primary functionality to the Software, (iii) you do not distribute additional software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software (unless otherwise specified in the applicable README file), (iv) you do not remove or alter any proprietary legends or notices contained in the Software, (v) you only distribute the Software subject to a license agreement that protects Sun's interests consistent with the terms contained in this Agreement, and (vi) you agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results from the use or distribution of any and all Programs and/or Software. (II), (III), (IV), and (VI) we are fine on. (V) is not meaningful unless we do a single file bundle (I) is the big problem. If you go to http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/ and download the file, you can install the JDK from there without going through Sun's servers and without installing Freenet. That URL is commonly bounced around the mailing list and will probably be on google by now. "only bundled as part of" would seem to mean that we are required to produce a single EXE containing the wininstaller and the sun JDK. Ian, could you ask your lawyer friends about this? Or somebody could ask Sun... -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
