Well, it just says "a redistributable jvm rpm", nothing about freeing/open sourcing it...

Picky picky. :)

Even if it's just a free-as-in-beer redistributable JVM, that's a vast improvement.

Nice taste in music, there :)

Let's see if anything happens in this direction. It would solve one huge problem with Java(TM).

My guess is that it may be something to chalk up to GNU Classpath and the related VMs maturing enough to run and build things like Eclipse 3, even natively compiled ... so the non-free JVMs need to adapt their distribution policies in the long run.
