Package: sun-java5-jre
Version: 1.5.0-06-1
Severity: serious
In the Distributor License for Java, there is the clause
(c) you do not combine, configure or distribute the Software to
run in conjunction with any additional software that implements
the same or similar functionality or APIs as the Software;
Debian distributes Jython, which can run with sun-java. However,
Jython, being a reimplementation of Python, implements a great deal of
similar functionality as sun-java.
This can be fixed by making Jython conflict with sun-java, although I
suspect that there may be other packages that also cause problems.
Cheers,

All:
Distribution of Java SE with Linux or OpenSolaris is governed by the DLJ;
however, these FAQ's are offered to explain and illustrate some of the
language in the license. Sun's goals are to make the software widely
usable while maintaining compatibility. I am doing my best to help resolve
issues that are raised.
It should be clear that the use of SWT is acceptable under the
DLJ from FAQ #15 [1].
To make this class of concerns explicitly clear we have added
DLJ FAQ #34 [2].
I am closing this bug as the issues covered here have been
addressed. Allow me to reiterate the appeal made previously
by Jeroen when he closed this bug the first time that if anyone
believes there is still a problem please specify a concrete working
example of how to get a DLJ-incompatible situation with just using
apt-get install. Adding still more, new issues to this bug will not
facilitate constructive discussion of the DLJ and Debian.
Venues for voicing such concerns include the jdk-distros forum [3],
the DLJfeedback [4] alias and the debian-java mailing list [5].
Thank you for concerns,
--Tom
