The blog post seems to say that the distribtor license is retired

The blog post also says that the license was invented to serve the
community untill a Free Java implementation could take over. This
point seems to have been reached, according to the post.
This is actually good news for the Free software community.
Agreed. Just want to make sure that anyone who is using the
sun java package from the repositories know that they must
get the latest security updates directly from java.com, as
the packages in the Mageia repositories are not being updated.

Thanks, Dave. Notification appreciated, although I had come to the
conclusion that it wouldn't be updated on my own, and took the
appropriate steps so my browser plugin is the latest from Oracle. One or
two of the websites I frequent claim to be fussy about such things.
