I'll let RedHat Linux worry about the licensing issues. As I read them, you are *NOT* allowed to distribute the JDK as a package, but you *can* distribute it as a port, similar to how the netscape port it done. The reason it hasn't been built as a port is the JDK port is still in transition, and not yet complete. > I guess, that putting binary Sun JDK in ports with reading > binary licension in pre-install is legal. Feel free to do such a thing, but IMHO this is not legal. Nate
