I am going to document it today. I'll post instructions here and on the
web site.

Of course not. Carry on using the repo.

Having slept on this last night, I think that we do need a legal opinion
again.

In the case that someone takes our image, makes a change, re-distributes
a new image based on our image, a) it needs to be clear that it is not a
CS image, and b) if a group or commercial entity puts that image out
there, and wish to provide updates for it, they provide their own server
and repo. Servers and bandwidth cost money! Also, I don't want Oracle
coming after me for royalty payments. So in this case, it needs to be
clear that the only reason this "new" image exists, is to circumvent the
fact that I have refused to add the Oracle JVM to our "official" image,
and in no way am I seen to be complicit, ie. by providing resources and
support for that image.
