+1 to short circuit this and directly arrange the right thing with SUN; an
das the ASF simply document a permission with them.
We've got every indication from them that they _want_ these sort of things
to be fixed - and not be a hurdle. I expect there to be enough trust
between us and SUN that we can move the way/place/method of the click
through.
I've head that Jason has been having similar covnerstation - may be good
for you two to sync up and make sure there is no overlap.
There shouldn't be. I initially got the conversation going between Jason and Tom, but it stopped. I mentioned it to Graham at a JCP EC meeting to help get it jumpstarted again, thinking that it had sunk into the legal quagmire that can be the sun legal team :)
