Hello....

I was wondering...

I run a site that *depends* on the viewer having JVM installed.
Currently, I say, "if you do not see anything in the box above, click here"
and that links to a copy of java virtual machine on MY webserver.
I used to link to one on Microsoft's site, but the kept moving it around and
my
link kept not working.
So I downloaded it (after I found it again and download it) and stored it on
my webserver,
and put the link to it.

Can I legally do this?  I mean, Microsoft does not charge for this product
and they currently
offer it in the form of a CD, so can I have the same file on my website
available for download?
My company's product depends upon the continued availability of my clients
being able to
access this plugin.

Thank you...
