Hi I am given to understand that someone has found a problem in the license of jdk, to the point that same person finds that debian cannot distribute the jdk at all. I was told that the problem found in the license has existed for a long time.
If this is the case, WHY is a jdk that doesn't even work in potato? By precisely the same token, why is there a jdk in ANY debian dist?? Is there a difference in the license between versions? Has anyone talked to Sun? If this is NOT the case, Can this be resolved quickly please? I would imagine that it is the intent of Sun that Java in its pure form would make it big. I have a few java projects that I'm taking off the back burner presently, and now this. Inquiring, jdk-using minds want to know. -Jim
