Did that change recently?
The main difference seems to be this (DLJ first): | [...] Sun also grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, | royalty-free limited license to reproduce and distribute the | Software [...] provided that: (b) the Software is distributed with | your Operating System, and such distribution is solely for the | purposes of running Programs under the control of your Operating | System and designing, developing and testing Programs to be run | under the control of your Operating System; [...] | [...] Oracle grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited | license without fees to reproduce and distribute the Software, | provided that (i) you distribute the Software complete and | unmodified and only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of | running, your Programs, [...] Other problematic clauses (indemnification, no bundling with reimplementatiosn of java.* classes and so on) are also part of the DLJ. (I still don't understand why the DLJ was suitable for non-free, so I'm clearly not qualified to judge these license matters for Debian.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
