If the byte code was, at the time of the alleged creation, only generated by Sun's compiler (and none of the alternatives), this might be sufficient to shift the burden of proof. > The JPackage folks have an interesting >> discussion, and I expect that the discussion (flaming?) on Debian's >> mailing lists will begin once the list server is back up. >> >> Waste of time...
