Given that the article does not mention relaxing their redistribution license for Java, while I can understand your enthusiasm, unfortunately I think you misinterpreted the article. Remember, JDS != JDK and JDS != JRE. JDS is a gnome-based desktop that sun sells for solaris and their own linux distro. It includes a bunch of proprietary apps, afaik. The article says Sun will make that gnome-based desktop available for other linux distributions than their own. cheers, dalibor topic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
