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,
Walter Landry
