The waters are very muddy at this point as far as non gpld applications using lgpl java go. One part of the Oracle - Google case relates to such use afaik. Essentially dalvik allows nongpl use of native java code, which was not allowed by Sun and hence causes a revenue loss to Oracle. But do double check all the facts on jre, jme, dalvik and whathaveyou. My take: just drop the whole junk. -- Rgds JTD _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
