La nueva licencia de java parece no convencer a los partidarios del software libre.
Si ya RedHat mostró su rechazo a la nueva licencia, ahora Don Armstrong, un peso pesado en Debian, pide que se elimine el paquete de los repositorios non-free.
Ni una semana ha durado java en Debian sin levantar polémica.

This means that we can't distribute eclispse or anything else which
implements part of the Java API (or if you're going to read this
clause as broadly as possible,[1] things like perl which implement
similar functionality in that perl is an implementation of a cross
platform language Perl.)
Este argumento ya por si solo justifica la retirada de los repositorios, se veia venir, lastima que Sun no este haciendo las cosas del modo correcto.

#1 Según la noticia lo que han hecho es borrarla de los repositorios non-free, como si hubiera recapacitado.
