The reason I had NO_PACKAGE in there was because "all copies of the software, packaging, and documentation" must contain this COPYRIGHT notice. The terms were a little unclear, so I thought I'd be cautious. > By the way, the class library seems to be the same as what the kaffe > port uses, although they hold it as a single .zip file > (/usr/local/share/kaffe/classes.zip).

I don't think so, netscape requires the library to be uncompressed, and kaffe uses the .zip-- Also we both install /usr/local/bin/javac which would seem to make the two packages mutually exclusive. The only reason I made this port is that kaffe isn't quite as stable as Netscape's Java yet. Sujal
