The authors intend and believe that the exception granted allows that code so licensed "can be used to run free as well as proprietary applications and applets." I have spoken with Nic Ferrier about this license exception. They specifically intend for it to remove any viral implications related to their binary distribution, and redistribution, and they believe that it does so. In the specific case, this is related to the service provider example, so I am only concerned about the permissible use of their binary jars. If there are problems with it, please let me know the specifics so that I can pass them on to Nic & Co. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
