Re: [tcljava-user] TclBlend - JDK Licensing.

This is probably a question more for the Sun or IBM licenses (depending o=

which JDK you bundle), so I doubt you'll get any kind of answer from the
tcljava list.  The TclBlend license definitely permits such things.  If I
remember correctly, the Sun JDK/JRE licenses permit re-packaging (for
exactly this type of automated corporate deployment) but with some
restrictions.  This may have changed, but I believe you have to do a
bundle that runs the Sun installer in silent mode.  I don't think it lets
you simply package up an existing directory and redistribute...  One plac=

Unfortunate as this sounds, probably a question for your legal council...

> Are there any licensing restrictions preventing the inclusion of an
embedded JDK with a TclBlend distro?  I have compiled Windows TclBlend
binaries with an embedded JDK for distribution in a controlled corporate
network.  Embedded means the JDK is shipped with the TclBlend distro
because security restrictions forbid the installation of stand alone
JAVA runtime environments on desktops.  The executables in d:\tcl\bin
are compiled to point at D:\tcl\JDK142.  Do I need to ask permission
from Sun or IBM to distribute the JDK?
