So what? You know, English is not my mother tongue, and I'm not a lawyer :-), but from what my eyes see I understand that you cannot install the program on more than one computer (and this is definitely not a port issue) and that you cannot distribute the tarball (and the port is marked restricted, so nobody making a release will include it into the release itself). Moreover, they state that you cannot install on more than one computer, but say anything about using on 2, 3, 4 or one hundred computers. In any case I don't think they would prevent you from using their software from more than one computer, one a time. Last but not least, they do not speak about multi user installation (that's what the port does). My apologies to the freebsd-java subscriptors for this O.T. Follow ups to freebsd-ports or to private email. Tnx. P.S.: the port will surely not be commited now, due to the port tree being frozen for the 2.2.6 release. > Johan Bye, UP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
