The result of what I believe is required is the patchset download page -- basically I require that a user agree that they are a licensee (of the JRL) in good standing before they can download the patchset. This is pretty much what Sun requires too. Obviously option 2 below has the least legal risk for anyone since the main source will still be downloaded from Sun. However, I wonder how long that source will last. > On Dec 26, 2008, at 07:30, Greg Lewis wrote: > > > G'day all, > > > > As you may have noticed, Sun have removed the source files for > > Update 3. > > > > I will contact Sun about this, but I expect they may well suggest we > > should > > just switch to OpenJDK 6 and they have no plans for more JRL source > > releases.
