Sounds good.

In order to distribute any part of Sun's j2sdk you have to agree that
"(iii) you do not distribute additional software intended to replace
any component(s) of the Software". Since Debian distributes and
encourages free replacements such as Kaffe, GCJ and SableVM, no part
of j2sdk can be distributed by the Project at all, even from non-free.
