You mean from Sun's site, downloaded automatically by the installer? I've been threatened by web sites when I asked if I could write a tool to parse their site and automatically derive content from it, but they may not have had a leg to stand on. It depends. But if the downloader utility skips the license agreement on the web site, Sun would likely have something to say about that - and maybe the optional registration thing too. We simply need a "heavy" version of the webinstaller that includes the JRE. And the light version can perhaps chain to the heavy version if it doesn't find an installed JRE of a suitable version. > > Anyway, it is the principal of the thing, and arguing is fun ;-) > > Ian. > > On Tue, Jul 15, 2003 at 06:24:12PM +0100, Toad wrote: > > On Tue, Jul 15, 2003 at 10:04:14AM -0700, Ian Clarke wrote: > > > Upon what expert legal argument do you determine that an on-demand > > > download does not constitute "as part of"?
