All / list,

that's by the way the reason, why I _did_ ask about the exact terms
considering redistribution of a PUBLIC_SUNW_PATCH versus redistribution
of a plain shared_library_file, way back earlier in this discussion thread.
But nobody knew an answer to this sub-question.
And it went under somehow.

See myself asking that question just two days ago:

http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=54869

""Yes, RTU versus "RTD".
However, quite a few external sites _are_ allowed to redistribute SUNW's
patches.

Even including the bins we are discussing about:
http://www.google.com/search?q=119964-07&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N
<http://www.google.com/search?q=119964-07&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N>
Completely external sites like
http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/tigerd1/patches/current_signed/
or even
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.sun.co.uk/patchroot/current_unsigned/119601-06.README

.
They all _do_ redistribute those patches (and therefore bins and libs).
Why are they allowed to? Do they have a special agreement? Or is it
something different legally to redistribute a "patch"?
Or may even be, all those sites are violating SUNW's legal terms? I just
wonder.""


Thanks,
Martin
