No, it doesn't!

~From DLJ FAQ (http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-FAQ-v1.1.txt):

8.  Does this license prevent me shipping any alternative technologies
~    in my OS distribution?

~  The DLJ does not restrict you from shipping any other technologies
~  you choose to include in your distribution. However, you can't use
~  pieces of the JDK configured in conjunction with any alternative
~  technologies to create hybrid implementations, or mingle the code
~  from the JDK with non-JDK components of any kind so that they run
~  together. It is of course perfectly OK to ship programs or libraries
~  that use the JDK. Because this question has caused confusion in the
~  past, we want to make this absolutely clear: except for these
~  limitations on combining technologies, there is nothing in the DLJ
~  intended to prevent you from shipping alternative technologies with
~  your OS distribution.
