| ignoring how much I disagree with the idea of cramming even more functionality into browsers, I just wanted to point out that Blackdown isn't free software. The reason it has been given priority over Sun's JDK in Linux distributions in the past is because it had a less restrictive distribution license, which allowed them to repackage it in their native package formats. | ||

Thanks for noticing that Blackdown is not actually FOSS. I sent the necessary correction to the editor.
