No, Sun is not bound by its own redistribution licenses so it does
not
break the law. It owns the JDK so it can distributes it as it sees
fit.

A question of good moral in a community ??
Well, in a perfect world we would spot all the issues as we
transition from the old world to the new, but everyone is a fallible
human including all the community members who happen to work for Sun.
All of us with the responsibility for the process of making Solaris
turn into OpenSolaris are aware of this issue around the libraries
now that you and others have kindly highlighted it. It is
unintentional, unfortunate and temporary. My apologies.
Casper's comment is a statement of fact but does not illuminate
intent. I'm sure there will be other similar oversights in the
future, but our intent is a transparent, open community with all
community members able to act as equally as the law allows. We'll get
there!
