Re: [uug] sss cd -- a call for volunteers

Items two and three under the "SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE TERMS" at the end of 
the license at http://www.java.com/en/download/license.jsp appear grant 
us permission to redistribute the JRE. If Eric Raymond is correct and 
IBM releases a fully open source JRE next year, it may become a 
non-issue for us, but in the meanwhile, the JRE is required by 
OpenOffice.org, so we include it on the disc. There is a notice on the 
disc that Java is not OSS.

There's probably a redistribution agreement you'd have to sign in
order to distribute it.  Also, it's not open source, so maybe we
shouldn't distribute it anyway.
