Has someone already thought about the license for the included JRE?

With releases from Sun/Oracle we put the JRE into (many) installation
sets
to make it easier for the user with the installation. But it's also
required
for some features as the Base module and some wizards.
How can we continue this? Is the license compatible?
Presumably our Windows install includes Microsoft redistributable
binaries as well, MSVCRT DLL, etc.?
AFAIK yes, so another dependency that needs to be considered for a release.
But I don't know for what it is used and if there is a possibility to avoid
or exchange this.
Didn't he just mentioned that is used for the Base module and other things
like Scripting framework and such?
Who do you mean with "he"? If Rob, then I've understood his comment
different.
Ohhlo can give you a measurement of how much Java code is included in OOo:

But when the complete Base module is affected, then IMHO it doesn't make
sense to just skip to include a JRE because only 5% source code is Java. ;-)
