It can't be fixed as it is right now. The legal requirements are dictated by third parties. Why do you think Sun is working so hard on creating Indiana and moving towards that model? Because something that is freely redistributable is for the best long term. Remember that Solaris Express releases include BitStream, Real Networks, etc. technology as well as other encryption components that must be tracked. While people can choose to redistribute on other download websites, etc. that does not excuse Sun from their legal responsibilities as a public company. While I agree with your views, they do not reflect the responsibilities Sun has to their licensors, shareholders, or the government. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
