<sigh> The jdk from Sun has been around for 10 years. Until very very recent versions of 1.6 it has never been GPL'ed, has never been redistributable and has *always* required that you go through Sun's portal to get it. It used to be worse - back in the day you used to have to register to get it. Sun's jre however is made available on different terms. And jdk-1.4* will never be GPL'ed. So, you kids have not spent a whole lot of time on java.sun.com in your lives right? And don't read many elog messages either. Don't like it? Go speak to Sun. Got nothing to do with Gentoo. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
