Hi, I am concerned with Sun JavaMail licensing that restrict only to evaluation purpose. And James uses JavaMail.
Does it mean that James can only be distributed without Javamail jar (mail.jar)? Am I missing something? Edward quote from Sun: 2.2 Binary Code. Sun grants to Licensee, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free and limited license to use the binary code portions of the Licensed Software internally for the purposes of evaluation only. https://jsecom15b.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/DownloadPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.DownloadPageInfo;jsessionid=2C496475DA352A33A848CF48DAC7DC12;jsessionid=2C496475DA352A33A848CF48DAC7DC12?viewLicenceId_6= Pre-Release Software Evaluation Agreement SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.
