I just emailed the developers to see if there is some way we can work
this out.  They are cool guys, and are not trying to prevent
distribution.  They are trying to prevent people reselling the
product.  How can we distribute Metasploit for Ubuntu, to ease
installation and user accessibility, but give the developers what they
want as well?  If Sun can distribute their packages on Ubuntu, then
Metasploit should be able to as well with some sort of license
agreement screen, etc, on installation as the 'sun-java6-bin' package
does (among others).

This is not a technical issue.  It is merely a legal and political
hindrance that can be overcome by working together to satisfy all
parties involved.  Let's make it work.
