Go fetch the file http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/jre-win32-latest.exe. This is ONLY the Java installer. It is not bundled, it can be downloaded independantly. It is not currently found by google, but it will be since http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/ is reasonably well known. So you can download the java installer *without downloading Freenet* from our site. One of the conditions imposed by Sun was: "and only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, your Programs" (part of term (i) ). Maybe it is for the sole purpose of running freenet - but it's certainly not bundled as part of it, since you can download it separately. Unless you convince me otherwise - and the burden of proof is on YOU, because you are the one taking the interpretation OF THE WORDS OF THE LICENSE that makes zero sense, or we produce a real bundled installer, I will not be able to release 0.5.2. > > Ian. > > > -- > Ian Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Coordinator, The Freenet Project http://freenetproject.org/ > Founder, Locutus http://locut.us/ > Personal Homepage http://locut.us/ian/ -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
