My new Kubuntu installation uses a JRE from the Free Software Foundation 
in OOo.  I'm pretty sure that would not be license encumbered.  I'll 
check the Windows version tomorrow to see what it uses.  Don't most 
people already have a JRE already?  Talk about bloatware.  I hope that 
this FSF version is better.

Peace,
Jim
