Ok, what do you propose?  How do verify that the FreeBSD Foundation and
Java teams fulfill all the legal obligations to Sun?

That it did, and you wouldn't believe the amount of time and effort
required just to get a binary version released for FreeBSD.  Alas, the
few minutes you had to spend disabling your proxy apparently is more
work than you can handle.

It's simpy amazing that anyone would want to continue working for free
on this project when they are folks like you out there.  Thank goodness
there are others who appreciate what it takes.

ps. For what it's worth, in order to download *ANY* JVM from Sun
requires that Javascript be enabled, so the FreeBSD project isn't
requiring anything more than Java's company.
