Good. The license verifies that you can indeed redistribute the JRE (but not the sdk. Kind of weird that way). Note that the blackdown port has the exact same license as the sun version, since it's a port of the same code, licensed from sun. At this stage in development, I'm not sure which is better, the blackdown 1.4.2 or the sun 1.4.2 (sun at one time was actually using the blackdown port as their linux version, just rebranding it). And I should have said we should label java as "freely available without cost" rather than free, of course, since it's not free. Of course trying to point out the difference to newbies is important, but might dilute the issues if we're not careful.
