> Lawyers do use some form of english you know. Ah, if I needed any confirmation that you have no lawyering experience, this provides more than enough! It is entirely possible that since we do not advertise the URL for the jre on our page and the only realistic way anyone is going to find it is as part of the installation of Freenet, that it would meet Sun's criteria for bundling. Even if, in some strange universe, Sun didn't agree with us and notified us of this, *that* would be the time to make the change. Sun's intention is clearly to prevent people from setting up competing download locations for the JRE - obviously this isn't what we are doing.
Where there is legal ambiguity, it is generally best to assume the common sense interpretation while requesting clarification, rather than wasting time and development effort by assuming the worst. > That agreement that I pasted > seems fairly unambiguous to me, and it is intended to be.

A reasonable person would ask Sun before wasting development effort based upon pessimistic amateur legal interpretations. > Well, Sun have been so helpful in the past.

Unless they all shared your attitude and didn't bother reporting the bugs. I have no problem getting responses from Sun when I need to - perhaps you aren't asking politely? Ian.
