In the README, there is the statement The limited set of files from the JDK listed below may be included in vendor redistributions of the J2SE Runtime Environment. They cannot be redistributed separately, and must accompany a JRE distribution. This does not seem to allow a separate JDK package, since the JRE would not _always_ accompany the JDK. Later, the README says If you wish to distribute the JRE rather than the JDK... which implies that they do not consider the case of splitting the JDK from the JRE. > We did check with Sun that the resulting packaging conforms to the > distribution terms. If you have a binding statement from Sun that it is OK to enforce completeness only through package dependencies, then it would be great if you could put that in the copyright file.
