According to various press releases [1], it seems that Sun is relaxing their redistribution license for Java. I know very little about the historical releases that the JRE has been kept out of Debian but wasn't it because the license was too restrictive? If so, does this mean that Java is now in "the same boat" as Macromedia Flash Player? If so, what can I do to take the initiative to package it up for Debian non-free? I apologize in advance if this brings up an old flame war... [1] http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2144710/sun-kicks-oem-programme-jds -- I use digital signatures and encryption.
