I don't agree with your rationale here. Gentoo does not distribute the JDK due to RESTRICT="fetch mirror" in the ebuild, so Oracle's license has no relevance. Oracle cannot prohibit us from distributing a shell script that moves some files around. That liability is on the user who runs it. We cannot force you to continue maintaining this package, but I think we should have a better reason for masking/removing it. If you cannot provide one, please just drop this to maintainer-needed.
