Ok, so you confirm us that the Sun jars couldn't be used outside a real program and as such couldn't be part of a RPM distribution ? But what happen if that distribution use these jars (ie javamail) for REAL program (like Tomcat 4.x) ? >"(i) distribute the Software complete and unmodified and only >bundled as >part of your Programs" 'Part of my program', could we see a distribution as a set of programs depending on BCL jars for both build, install and runtime ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
