1. License to Distribute. Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, limited license to (a) use the binary form of the Software for the sole purpose of designing, developing and testing your JavaTM applets and applications intended to run on a compatible Java environment (the "Programs"), provided that the Programs add significant and primary functionality to the Software, and (b) reproduce and distribute the binary form of the Software through multiple tiers of distribution provided that you: (i) distribute the Software complete and unmodified; (ii) do not distribute additional software intended to supersede any component(s) of the Software; (iii) do not remove or alter any proprietary legends or notices contained in or on the Software; and (iv) only distribute the Software pursuant to a license agreement that protects Sun's interests consistent with the terms contained in this Agreement, and provides that Sun is a third party beneficiary to such license agreement. If you distribute the Software pursuant to this paragraph, you must include the following statement as part of product documentation (whether hard copy or electronic), as a part of a copyright page or proprietary rights notice page, in an "About" box or in any other form reasonably designed to make the statement visible to users of the Software: "This product includes code licensed from RSA Data Security". I don't see anything concerning separate distribution here. There are some minor points where we could be considered violating this license: - we don't ship redudant jars (i) - we don't ship basic launch scripts (i) - we replace them by complete ones (ii) And the non-distributable section only contains package specification, not actual code, so i guess it is not concerned here. -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
