Guys,
~    Those of you who were at the November ALE Central meeting on Java
and Linux may remember discussion of FreeBSD's licensing agreements with
Sun.  Well, in another brilliant stroke, Sun has revoked the FreeBSD
foundation's SCSL license to distribute their binaries.  It's on
Slashdot[0], and you can find links to more specific documents there.
The link to the FreeBSD foundation newsletter spells things out pretty
clearly in the section labeled "Java Update"[1].
~    How very, very unfortunate.
