I think these provisions have to do with WebStart. You'll notice the license for WebStart includes this as well and can be used with various JRE's (I think 1.2.2 or higher). One of the features of WebStart is that it can use a JRE specified in the jnlp file hence needing to automatically download software from Sun if the one specified is not available. Furthermore, it automatically updates the software you are running hence needing to automatically download and execute other software. Since 1.4 includes WebStart its license also includes these provisions. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
