[OSM-dev] Nestoria Tiles Write Up

Yes, you can't redistribute the JRE, but you /*can*/ bundle it, it's 
covered by a supplemental license which allows this. It couldn't be 
included in linux distros because it said:

...provided that you: (i)distribute
   the Software complete and unmodified, only as part of, and for the
   sole purpose of running, your Java applet or application...
   (ii) do not distribute additional software intended to replace any
   component(s) of the Software...

which distros fail on both counts.

The new license is especially for OS vendors to get around this.
I'm just installing the debian package which has to put up a click 
through license etc.
You then seem to have to run update-alternatives --config java, to get 
it selected as the default.
