sure yo can distribute java, thats not the point... we could even put it
in main or on the CD, sun would kiss us if we'd do... but read the
license... once you ship it, you arent able to ship any other java
implementation (not even gcj, which is a part of gcc now) ...
Well, once again, SuSE's doing it :). They use GCJ 4.0, and ship Java with GCJ in the same directory of the publicly distributed DVD/CD's. Not just that, they also ship it online in the inst-source-java folder (which is a _REALLY_ cheap way to circumvent that).


Wait a minute, does this mean as long as Breezy Extras doesn't ever package GCJ/blackdown, I can upload a .deb there for Java? What about repackaging rights?
