Interesting.  Out of interest, where did you get your law degree from?
I'm guessing it was either the back of a Corn Flakes or Rice Bubbles
pack, but I'm not sure which?

All Sun patches/firmware/etc are copyright, licensed software. You can't
legally just copy and redistribute them any more than you can, say, a copy
of Microsoft Windows - regardless of what you intend to use them for.
