      *THIS IS NOT A REGRESSION*

      Look at the following extract from the LICENSE file bundled with j2re-1_4_1_05-fcs-bin-b01-solaris-sparc-09_jul_2003.sh.

      You can see that the roman numerals are repeated for point 6 (vi) twice.

      conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to

      the Software complete and unmodified (unless otherwise

      other form reasonably designed to make the statement
      visible to users of the Software: "This product includes
      code licensed from RSA Security, Inc.", and (vii) include
      the statement, "Some portions licensed from IBM are
      available at http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu4j/"
      *****

      I have verified that the LICENSE file contains the same error in 1.4.1fcs release. Therefore this bug is not a regression, but should be corrected as the error is clearly visible.
