Wasn't Java GPL'ed by Sun before they sold themselves to Oracle? I was looking at an updated version of Java for Windows, and noticed a EULA instead of the GPL.
What's the story? What gives? And what do I do about Java in my Ubuntu box?
Frothy Coffee!

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
OpenJDK and the IcedTea plugin are fine for most people, some will need sun-java (Oracle), which is in the partner repos.Originally Posted by DeadlyOats

Thanks for your reply (sorry for my VERY late response).
How will Oracle's actions (they apparently changed JAVA from the GPL to a EULA) affect OpenJDK and Icedtea? Aren't they based off of JAVA?
And where does that leave me? I still have JAVA installed in my Ubuntu box, and I see JAVA(?) updates available for Ubuntu....
