So we can't redistribute the blackdown version of jdk1.2, but blackdown can? Do they have a special dispensation? But we can redistribute the jre1.2, right? For my current needs, that would work fine as I can use the jre and one of the free javac implementations until we have a free jre. If we can package the jre1.2, is anyone planning on doing it? If not, I am volunteering. - -- Gene McCulley Voice: (407) 265-0772 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: (407) 265-0773 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3sWb4K+LjkZ54DewRAuFPAJ0U+Kvq16KfnhnHkCpHLx0c9OySpgCglKP5 aBGVdDfpjwEkq8juIonHv48= =ohne -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
