That's nice but so far Iced Tea hasn't run the java browser applets that I have needed nor will it run Limewire or various other things. I keep hearing that Sun's Java is FOSS so I'm wondering why, if this is true, that we haven't seen it bundled with a distro yet.


The terms of the CDDL license on Java quite clearly state that re-distribution is prohibited.

I thought Java switched to a genuine GPL.

Is that wrong?
