Hi Dan,
beside the licensing, do you still create the .exe for me? The packaging
needs some time to be created.
Moreover, remember, that every user of FreeMind needs Java to execute
FreeMind.
And it is only the question, if we are allowed to package and distribute
the java with our proprietary program.
We can' t claim, that the result is GPL (at least not for java 5+6,
java7 is gpl, but not available AFAIK).
Perhaps, consider

Best regards, Chris

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

Dear Dan,
this will cost you at least a couple of beer ;-)
Dan, I want to publish an installer version including the java
runtime:
FreeMind-0-8-1-max-Java-included, too. What do you think?
From the license of the runtime, it should be possible (see below).
I would need your help in creating a freemind.exe that takes a
java.exe
from a subdirectory jre/bin/java.exe.
Can you supply such an exe, soon?
Regards,
Chris
