Can I distribute jdk1.3.1 commercially??

Hi..
i would like to know if I can distribute jdk commercially ??
Thank you.

The JDK is a free download. You could certainly point anyone to the sun site to get it. Also, I'm not sure why the above poster said you couldn't distribute it. You certainly couldn't charge someone for it, but I would think that you could distribute it along with other things as long as you weren't claiming to be selling the JDK. The above poster might be correct, though, so you should look into it further.
Does anyone have a link or direct Sun reference which explicitly covers this?
If I write a text editor which can also work with external compilers, why couldn't I include the JDK in the packaging as long as I made it clear that it wasn't the JDK that I was selling and gave Sun the proper credits?

Attn: Sun. Can we distribute the JRE with a program we write?

I'm trying to find out whether it's legal to distribute the JRE with a program I write. If you look at the license agreement when you download the JRE, first it has the regular license agreement, which says that you can't. But then it has the "supplemental" license agreement (and it says that this "modifies" the regular license agreement). In section 2 of the supplemental license agreement, it quite clearly states that you can as long as you don't modify it and you include some little messages in your documentation.
So I'm hoping to get an answer from someone who actually works for Sun. It seems pretty clear to me that we ARE allowed to distribute the JRE with a program, but people keep sending me emails when I tell them about it - saying things like "You can't program in Java because you can't distribute it."
What I want to do is have an installation program that installs my game and then installs Java (with Sun's JRE installer - this is included ONLY so that it can run my game, as stated in the supplemental license agreement). I should also mention that I do actually intend to SELL this program, so if that's a problem, please say so. Anyways, could someone from Sun tell me whether this is allowed or not? I don't want to break the law.

The JRE includes a readme file that explicitly states that distribution is permissible, given certain conditions. In particular, look at the 1st paragraph below:
Reproduced here:
README
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
Version 1.4.1
The Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment is intended for software developers
and vendors to redistribute with their applications.
The Java 2 Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine,
runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are
necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.
It is not a development environment and does not contain development
tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the
Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.
=======================================================================
Deploying Applications with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
=======================================================================
When you deploy an application written in the Java programming
language, your software bundle will probably consist of the following
parts:
Your own class, resource, and data files.
A runtime environment.
An installation procedure or program.
You already have the first part, of course. The remainder of this
document covers the other two parts. See also the Notes for Developers
page on the Java Software website:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/runtime.html
Runtime Environment
To run your application, a user needs the Java 2 Runtime Environment,
which is freely available from Sun for application developers to
redistribute.
The final step in the deployment process occurs when the software is
installed on individual user system. Installation consists of copying
software onto the user's system, then configuring the user's system
to support that software. You should ensure that your installation
procedure does not overwrite existing JRE installations, as they may
be required by other applications.
=======================================================================
Redistribution of the Java 2 Runtime Environment
=======================================================================
The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the
Java 2 Runtime Environment with their programs.
Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 2 Runtime Environment Binary
Code License agreement.
Required vs. Optional Files
The files that make up the Java 2 Runtime Environment are divided into
two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
from redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment at the
licensee's discretion.
The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java 2 Runtime
Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
Optional Files and Directories
The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions:
lib/charsets.jar
Character conversion classes
jre/lib/ext/
sunjce_provider.jar - the SunJCE provider for Java
Cryptography APIs
localedata.jar - contains many of the resources
needed for non US English locales
ldapsec.jar - contains security features supported
by the LDAP service provider
dnsns.jar - for the InetAddress wrapper of JNDI DNS provider
bin/rmid
Java RMI Activation System Daemon
bin/rmiregistry
Java Remote Object Registry
bin/tnameserv
Java IDL Name Server
bin/keytool
Key and Certificate Management Tool
bin/kinit and jre/bin/kinit
Used to obtain and cache Kerberos ticket-granting tickets
bin/klist and jre/bin/klist
Kerberos display entries in credentials cache and keytab
bin/ktab and jre/bin/ktab
Kerberos key table manager
bin/policytool
Policy File Creation and Management Tool
bin/orbd
Object Request Broker Daemon
bin/servertool
Java IDL Server Tool
In addition, the Java Web Start product may be excluded from
redistributions. Depending on the platform, the Java Web Start
product is contained in a file named as follows. The actual
product version number would replace the <version number> notation.
javaws-<version number>-solaris-sparc-i.zip
javaws-<version number>-solaris-i586-i.zip
javaws-<version number>-linux-i586-i.zip
javaws-<version number>-windows-i586-i.exe
Redistribution of Java 2 SDK Files
The limited set of files from the SDK listed below may be included in
vendor redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment. All paths
are relative to the top-level directory of the SDK.
- jre/lib/cmm/PYCC.pf
Color profile. This file is required only if one wishes to
convert between the PYCC color space and another color space.
- All .ttf font files in the jre/lib/fonts directory. Note that the
LucidaSansRegular.ttf font is already contained in the Java 2
Runtime Environment, so there is no need to bring that file over
from the SDK.
- jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm
This MIDI soundbank is present in the Java 2 SDK, but it has
been removed from the Java 2 Runtime Environment in order to
reduce the size of the Runtime Environment's download bundle.
However, a soundbank file is necessary for MIDI playback, and
therefore the SDK's soundbank.gm file may be included in
redistributions of the Runtime Environment at the vendor's
discretion. Several versions of enhanced MIDI soundbanks are
available from the Java Sound web site:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/
These alternative soundbanks may be included in redistributions
of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
- The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating Environment
and Linux]
bin/sparcv9/javac [Solaris Operating Environment
(SPARC(TM) Platform Edition)]
bin/javac.exe [Microsoft Windows]
lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
- jre\bin\server\
On Microsoft Windows platforms, the Java 2 SDK includes both
the Java HotSpot Server VM and Java HotSpot Client VM. However,
the Java 2 Runtime Environment for Microsoft Windows platforms
includes only the Java HotSpot Client VM. Those wishing to use
the Java HotSpot Server VM with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
may copy the SDK's jre\bin\server folder to a bin\server
directory in the Java Runtime Environment. Software vendors may
redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM with their
redistributions of the Java Runtime Environment.
Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java 2 SDK,
Standard Edition and the Java 2 Runtime Environment allow strong but
limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at:
<java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar
<java-home>lib/security/US_export_policy.jar
where <java-home> is the jre directory of the Java 2 SDK or the
top-level directory of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
on cryptographic strengths is available on the Java 2 SDK web site for
those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.
Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
An endorsed standard is a Java API defined through a standards
process other than the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM)). Because
endorsed standards are defined outside the JCP, it is anticipated that
such standards will be revised between releases of the Java 2
Platform. In order to take advantage of new revisions to endorsed
standards, developers and software vendors may use the Endorsed
Standards Override Mechanism to provide newer versions of an endorsed
standard than those included in the Java 2 Platform as released by Sun
Microsystems.
For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
including the list of platform packages that it may be used to
override, see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/standards/
Classes in the packages listed on that web page may be replaced only
by classes implementing a more recent version of the API as defined
by the appropriate standards body.
In addition to the packages listed in the document at the above
URL, which are part of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE(TM)) specification, redistributors of Sun's J2SE
Reference Implementation are allowed to override classes whose
sole purpose is to implement the functionality provided by
public APIs defined in these Endorsed Standards packages.
Redistributors may also override classes in the org.w3c.dom.*
packages, or other classes whose sole purpose is to implement
these APIs.

Help:where can i download jdk1.4 amd64-bit for windows server 2003 version?

where can i download jdk1.4 amd64-bit for windows server 2003 version?

Thanks all for your replys.
As I know there is no Crystal Reports 2008 runtimes for 64 bit machines, there are only 32 bit runtimes for that product.So,I need to know when will be the 64 bit runtimes will be released or will be available.
Also,for the CR bundled with VS 2008 (10.5), there are 64 bit runtimes which you could find on your development machine under -
' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x64.msi '
When will be 64 bit runtimes for CR 08 will be available?
Thanks

Can I distribute the open source SWF compiler with my application?

I'm unclear reading the documentation if there is a difference between Adobe's official Flex SDK, and the open source version?
Can I distribute the open source SWF compiler with my application?
I have a flash application that users can change the fonts being displayed, if they supply the fonts in a compiled SWF. I found I can let the user select a font from their computer system, and using the mxmlc command I can easily generate a SWF with the font, which can be loaded by my application so the font will be part of the run time application when played on systems without that font already in the System fonts.
I was wondering if I could distribute the open source SDK so that I could compile these font SWFs for the user so they would not have to get involved in complicated Flash development. The audience is non Flash audience.
I tried using SWFMill but the fonts don't seem to work as they do with the mxmlc compile.
Thank you,
Scott Kerr

Moreover check also the compatibility of your open source license with MPL

Captivate 7. How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

New to Captivate. When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides. all the audio is on the first slide. How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

@parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
@[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

Can I distribute wrapped VI as DLL?

I am working on a project that has some components written in LabVIEW and others in C++. The C++ code requires a function that would most easily be implemented by wrapping a single LabVIEW function as a DLL. Is this okay from a Licensing perspective?
To clarify, if I have a valid license to create DLLs with LabVIEW and distibute them, can I distribute a dll that wraps a single LabVIEW function? This is for use within a larger project and not an attempt to provide a toolkit of wrapped LV functions for use by a third party.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since you have the right to create DLLs i dont see why not. Isn't the whole point of DLLs to wrap more or less complex functions?

Can I use an Imovie Clip Commercially?

I'm an advertising professional. One of my client liked my presentation that I made in Imovie asked me to finishe it as it is. Can I use it as a commercial film?

Thank you very much for the answer, Studio x. I'm using the music which was ready in the Imovie clip. The ready movie clip in the Imovie called ''Road Trip''. It's a blockbuster type music that have in it. I replaced the images with my clients and leaved the music as it is. I couldn't find the autor and the name of it to search. I wonder if this music included in the Imovie clip has additional rights issues or I can use them without additional clearence in a commercial?

How can i remove jdk1.4 install in oracle unbreakable linux.

How can i unstall jdk1.4 gnu jdk/bin path and jdk 1.4 gnu java from with my system.

Prashansh Kumar

From what I understand, the problem is that your classes are compiled for a later version of Java. I'm not sure at this point that uninstalling Java 1.4 is the right solution - it may break important system functions.
I would rather try another approach first:
# alternatives --config java
-> select the java version you want as default.If you want to install java 1.6 you can try the following:
# yum install java-1.6*
or just the runtime package
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
For example:
# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
# alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection    Command
+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
* 2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
# java -version
java version "1.6.0"

Can I distribute CA Keys using ARD?

Hi. I'm setting up a FileMaker Pro Server Adv. on 10.6.2 Server with Instant Web Publishing. I got my Windows friend, who admins the CA in our office, to make me a SSL certificate for my IWP site. Everything is good. For Mac users, they will get flagged on this site from their browsers since the SSL certificate is not "trusted." But I have the public key from the CA (x.p7b file) or whatever you call it to install into their Keychains to establish a trust.
Can I distribute this key to all my Mac users using ARD?
Thanks.

How can I distribute the free version of Numbers, Keynote, and Pages using Apple Configurator

I am trying to use Apple Configurator to mamnge a set of classroom iPads. I have figured out how to purchase apps via the VPP account and distribute them, but I can't figure out how to distribute the free versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. When I try downloading these apps on the Mac running Configurator, they show up as a paid version. Currently, I have to disable the option in Configurator that removes non-mamanged apps and then install the apps manually on each iPad. Does anyone have a better option than this. My hope was to be able to completely manage the iPads by simply pugging them into the Mac.

The apps is not only for iPhone 5c and 5s. its for all apple products that are purchased with iOS 7. I don't believe if you already have the product then update it to iOS 7 that the apps will be free. I believe that you have to purchase the product on or after the 18th since iOS 7 will already be on the products.
Edit...All compatible iOS 7 products activated on or after September 1st, 2013 will recieve the iWork apps for free. So yes he/she will recieve the apps
