Good question, as a mirror provider I need to research more. Raising
points both PRO and CON seems relevant for this list. As one of my
preferred languages (as in pay the bills), I'd like to suppport Java.
I'd like that too. I've read the Operating System Distributor's
License for Java (also known as the "Distro License for Java" or DLJ:
http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-v1.1.txt ) and what it says is, in
short, that this is our software and you may distribute it in any way
as long as it's distributed bundled, or as an installable package,
with your operating system (which can be any Linux flavor or
OpenSolaris).
The only hatch, as I see it, is that one must present the license (or
at least point to it) for the user, in any way possible, so that they
are aware that they are using licensed software. This doesn't has to
be a click-through approach, it is mandatory.
Is this doable with any of GoboLinux' mechanisms?
