#169 Jai_core licence problem
Hello,
I was trying to made a package of mobile atlas creator for Fedora, but I saw that mobac use jai_core.jar but it seems that JAI is not compatible. It seems you can't redistribute jai_core.
http://java.net/projects/jai-core/sources/svn/content/tags/root-1_1_4/README-FIRST.txt?rev=111
JAI is not included in the binary release
Jai is necessary to build binary and not available on fedora, so I can't made this package. It's a pity, mobac is an interesting project.
AFAIR JAI is only used for color reduction and Java doesn't have to be compiled on the target system.
Therefore as long as you don't target a distribution that builds everything from scratch upon installation I don't see a problem. Just don't package JAI with your releases.
