Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sun-java6-jdk
The current package of sun-java6-jdk currently contains the following warning in its description: >>> NOTE: You must accept Sun's EULA prior to successfully installing this package <<< My understanding is that the recent versions of Java are Open Source under the GPL v2 license. Is this correct or is there somethine missing here? Is there a difference between JDK6 and OpenJDK or are they the same? My information comes from here: http://www.java.net/community/openjdk/ If it is, indeed GPLv2, then this warning is misleading and should be removed. Ideally, it would be nice to see OpenJDK moved into main, considering its new-found freedom, and the myriad of open source software written in Java. ** Affects: sun-java6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Incorrect License warning? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
