Yes, I'm directing it at you because you're the only person who seems to making this as issue. Obviously Sun is implicitly ignoring the redistribution of these JARs because it's happening all over the place. You bringing this to a head is not going to allow Sun to whistle in the dark and let it go. They probably don't care and they probably don't want to spend any money changing the license because things just generally work. You making a big stink about it and then doing zilch insofar as contacting anyone at Sun to try and help with all your purported clout absolutely sucks. > - Sam Ruby > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
