So we can't redistribute the blackdown version of jdk1.2, but
blackdown can?  Do they have a special dispensation?

But we can redistribute the jre1.2, right?  For my current needs, that
would work fine as I can use the jre and one of the free javac
implementations until we have a free jre.

If we can package the jre1.2, is anyone planning on doing it?  If not, 
I am volunteering.
