Your comments assume a desire to distribute the JDK itself. There are no
restrictions or fees for distributing the software you develop, nor are
you restricted from distributing the *binaries* of add-on libraries you
get from Sun (there may be some exceptions on redistributing binary jars
of class libs, but I haven't seen Sun put any restrictions on them yet -
only commercial libraries that you have to pay for from other companies
carry restrictions).
