No, I did not mean that. The question
was "How could communtiy OpenSolaris distros

pointed out that libCrun
is not a system library, but a compiler specific runtime which is
not necessary for the base
OS to function.
If I did understand things correctly, then Sun likes that java is
redistributed by OpenSolaris distributions. If I remember correctly,
java needs libC.
Isn't the conclusion from this that java cannot be distributed in a way
that
makes it usable?
Java cannot be distributed in a way that makes it executable in the
LiveCD environment.
That is why BeleniX just includes the JDK install bundle on the
LiveCD.
It therefore * v i o l a t e s * its own DLJ legal terms !!
That is exactly the reason why I am so upset since the DLJ launch in
mid May:

Ship only a compatible JDK on your OS. If
notified of an incompatibility, you must correct it and offer a patch
or replacement to downstream recipients within 90 days, or stop shipment
and notify downstream recipients.

Really stupid somehow.
And so superfluous.
Don't we have more important things to do?
Maybe it is not a conspiracy.
But a crappy thing.
A thing, that doesn't deserve SUNW's name.
And SUNW pays for it, in a dual manner!
{since #0.) not everyone works for free, especially not legal staff
[...], and #1.) What will the world think of such a mismanagement}
I'm happy to see the ML-public finally realizing, what kind of nonsense
is going on in that aspect.
One could think it happens in preparation to Mad Hatter, but that's EOL.
Or maybe Haloween?
Cannot be, because this very mess started back in May.
