I'm quite happy with this suggestion as well (must -> may for non-free JVM dependencies). If at least one of the dependencies is satisfied - even if this is selected from a list of only free JVMs - then the app will presumably run successfully and so there's no problem if non-free JVMs are omitted from this dependency list. If a user wants to run such an app under their own non-free JVM, assuming the startup script allows the user to specify their own JVM (it does, right?) then they can run the app the way they want to anyway. b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
