So, what if we distribute an installer that is capable of downloading and installing the Sun JRE on behalf of the user, but doesn't actually bundle it? -- # tavin cole # # "The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, # a continual flight from wonder." # - Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Wed May 2 08:53:57 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA04808 for <danello at danky.com>; Wed, 2 May 2001 01:34:37 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2F5125812F; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:15:02 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from curly.cc.utexas.edu (curly.cc.utexas.edu [128.83.42.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 881DA5808F for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:14:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (blanu at localhost) by curly.cc.utexas.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/cc-uts-1.30) with ESMTP id BAA20989 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 2 May 2001 01:09:12 -0500 (CDT) From: Brandon <[email protected]> X-X-Sender: <blanu at curly.cc.utexas.edu> To: <devl at freenetproject.org> Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] JRE License In-Reply-To: <871yq8xpov.fsf at priss.bad-people-of-the-future.san-francisco.ca.us> Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.4.33.0105020055370.25721-100000 at curly.cc.utexas.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: devl-admin at freenetproject.org Errors-To: devl-admin at freenetproject.org X-BeenThere: devl at freenetproject.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.3 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: devl at freenetproject.org List-Help: <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:devl at freenetproject.org> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=subscribe> List-Id: Discussion of information related to Freenet development <devl.freenetproject.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/pipermail/devl/> Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 01:09:11 -0500 (CDT) X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-UIDL: 3adbdd6c0000035b Status: O Content-Length: 3013 Lines: 59 > Not to mention that it's distasteful from an information freedom > perspective.
