Un an unrelated note, I installed that sun-java this morning and the
screen that popped up had all the license blurb, and at the bottom a
phrase like "Do you agree with the licensing terms?" with a checkbox
there. :)   That doesn't really look rock-solid from a legal point of
view does it? It assumes that a checked box to a question means 'yes'.

(Almost everywhere else the phrase is of course "I agree with these
terms", or even radio buttons for 'agree' and 'don't agree'. )

Cheers,
