Shtop! Thish argument ish not ready yet! Apart from the bundling aspect, Debian didn't want to provide the JRE for the other (previously quoted) reason - that they agree to indemnify Sun against any losses, etc, due to the use of their Java JRE. Or something. I am *NOT* a lawyer and I didn't even read the quote properly anyway. But whatever the wording was, this they were not prepared to do. It's also arguable whether we are or not. I'll wait until people reach some kind of a conclusion before doing anything (and yes, I've already left a message with Sun, many hours ago, and they'll get back to me) d _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
