ibm-jdk1.1 click-through license



See the following section of the IBM JDK1.1 license agreement...it only
permits the product to be installed on a RedHat or Caldera system.
Providing an installer in Debian is simply encouraging users to break
their agreement with IBM.  This is unfortunate, of course, and someone
ought to try to talk to IBM about it.
