Well,

Just coming back from my holiday and still having a couple hundred emails to
look thru, I just wanted to add that a spell might probably need to be moved
out of my section/grimoire and into the main grimoires. J2sdk (or j2sdk-bin)
is needed by quite a few spells, as I found when I did a sorcery system-update
(btw, why does javamail provide Java?). But it is a non-free spell, needing
the download of the source files directly from Sun. So, what to do for this
one (and others like it)? Should we create a z-nongpl section on the main
grimoires?
