Ahoj Ducu!
Ah yes the license thingie.. I remember now..
Maybe worth checking with JDK people directly if they mind having it
part of such a bundle? (I don't know if that is feasible).
Great to hear that you are still on anyway.. keep us posted! :)
Best hugs,
Gwen
PS: yesterday I wanted to check mak API docs within BEST bundle, could
you checkf it is actually included?
