Dear Chris,
I think it should be possible for me to make it tomorrow to produce a
version of FreeMind.exe that takes the Java runtime from a specific
directory.
But what I see as an issue is the licensing of Java runtime. Though I have
already devoted some attention to copyright issues, I am still a non-expert.
FreeMind is licensed under GNU GPL; bundling with it something that has not
an open source license seems highly risky of copyright violation.
Unless we have a clear evidence that there are no licensing issues, we
should avoid bundling with FreeMind anything without a license compatible
with GNU GPL.
Best regards,
Dan
