I am relatively sure that putting jre in a repo didnt meet the criteria of 'with the app'. Sun had something called the DDL for distro's that wanted to ship their Java stack, however their terms didnt go down well with the CentOS developers and also they wanted various bits of paper signed etc. So, imho, Sun's stuff is quite far off the radar. RedHat seem to rely on Bea stack, does anyone have a decent idea on what their terms might be ? Would someone like to actually knock on their door and ask ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
