Are there instructions somewhere for keeping to a 100% freedomware |
| 11 |
solution? I've been wondering about installing Java, but don't consider |
| 12 |
slaveryware a viable local option, thus the question. (FWIW, in the general |
| 13 |
case I couldn't install whatever binary legally if I wanted to, since I |
| 14 |
couldn't agree to the EULA, tho I've not examined the Sun/Blackdown EULAs |
| 15 |
recently to see if this would apply there, as they still aren't |
| 16 |
freedomware and are thus still not an option.) |

If it's not yet possible (or no documentation that will work for a non-Java |
| 19 |
guy), is there a timetable? No rush or even pressure to do it if you |
| 20 |
aren't, but thought I'd ask while the topic is hot. I did try the given |
| 21 |
URL as well as the Gentoo Java Guide, but the former seemed to presuppose |
| 22 |
someone already involved in testing (understandable at this stage), and |
| 23 |
the latter didn't seem to mention any of the newer 100% freedomware |
| 24 |
alternatives I keep reading about. Thus, there was no answer I could grok. |
