The main issue we have right now is figuring out how to present a click-through type license to the user prior to their first use. For distribution from our web page, we've already developed a mechanism to do this. For CD distributions, the package might need to be altered in order to ensure the click-through cannot be circumvented. Other than this issue, our licese allows the Foundation to distribute our binaries to "OEMS who include them as part of a value-added product" (e.g. you can't distribute just our binaries) so long as: o You don't modify the binaries in any way that would make them fail the compatibility suite. o You enter into Sun's standard trademark agreement and accordingly brand your "value added product" with the applicable Java logo. Since the full text of our licese is confidential, we are still in the process of composing the exact user and OEM license text. The license text, including instructions for OEMs seeking to enter into a trademark agreement with Sun, should show up on our web site in the next week. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-vendors" in the body of the message
