Hi Ernst, > Is it necessary to confirm that one agrees to the SCSL in order to > download these patches? I assumed this was only necessary for the JDK > 1.2 source download from Sun self?

Here is the relevant portion of the SCSL (paragraph 3.1(b)): "b) Source Code Availability. You agree to provide all Your Error Corrections to Original Contributor as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, prior to Internal Deployment Use or Commercial Use, if applicable. Original Contributor may, at its discretion, post Source Code for Your Error Corrections and Shared Modifications on the Community Webserver. You may also post Error Corrections and Shared Modifications on a web-server of Your choice; provided, that You must take reasonable precautions to ensure that only Licensees have access to such Error Corrections and Shared Modifications. Such precautions shall include, without limitation, a password protection scheme limited to Licensees and a click-on, download certification of Licensee status required of those attempting to download from the server. An example of an acceptable certification is attached as Attachment A-2." In particular the last three sentences. I am still not sure we are 100% compliant, but we are definitely much closer now. If somebody can convince me that either I am interpreting this incorrectly or that this section of the license doesn't apply to the patchsets, I'll gladly revert to the old method of downloading things. > I would still like to keep up to date with the current patch set, but I > do not have the ability to run CGI scripts on either of the 3 mirrors I > provided. If a CGI script is the only solution then the FreeBSD JDK 1.2 > patches just ran out of mirrors :( I understand, I knew that this sort of thing may happen :(. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
