Package: visualvm
Version: 1.3.3-2
Severity: normal
When I first started jvisualvm, I was presented with an EULA dialog
telling me I have to accept the agreement to start VisualVM.
But, to quote GPLv2:
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted…
and, of course:
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
I think whoever decided to put the GPL in a EULA box didn't actually
read the GPL before hitting 'I Accept'...
