So, there's a couple of questions, do we need to start LEGAL issues for these:
1. If we were to create an installer for installing Apache NetBeans (i.e., no JDK included, simply for installing NetBeans), could we distribute that from our Apache NetBeans site? 2. Can Oracle or Amazon etc take NetBeans and then create an installer for its JDK and include NetBeans in that installer? 3. What's the status in legal terms of Emilian's CoolBeans, i.e., can anyone take Apache NetBeans source code at any point of the release and rename it and then provide it in their own way? (I'm assuming Yes here, but would be good to have that very clearly established.)
