Turbine is totally illegal with regards to what it distributes. We are legal with regards to GPL (we don't include any GPL software), but not with regards to Sun's .jar files (ie: mail.jar, activation.jar, etc...) Until CJAN is setup and working, I'm not sure how to deal with the issue. I can't wait to get the letter from Sun telling me to stop though. :-) -jon
