Why? The BCL requires us (and our users) to indemnify Sun. That's now
acceptable?
Something for you to continue to push on legal-discuss/board etc Geir. The
current policy that I've seen repeated is that we can ship as a package,
but not individually or put in svn (unsure if that's because putting in
svn would mean ship individually).
Until we have an official policy on it, the community policy is all we
have to work with; so another one for Cliff's TODO list to get ironed out
:)
