Package: sun-java5-jre
Version: 1.5.0-06-1
Severity: serious
In the Distributor License for Java, there is the clause
(c) you do not combine, configure or distribute the Software to
run in conjunction with any additional software that implements
the same or similar functionality or APIs as the Software;
Debian distributes Jython, which can run with sun-java. However,
Jython, being a reimplementation of Python, implements a great deal of
similar functionality as sun-java.
This can be fixed by making Jython conflict with sun-java, although I
suspect that there may be other packages that also cause problems.
Cheers,

No, it's not. Please open a new bug if you want to discuss that. This
buglog is so full of very widely distinct issues, it's unmanagable to
respond to -- now it's verly closely resembling a meta-bug "I don't
think sun-java5 belongs in Debian's non-free section".
Please do not reopen this bug again.
