"Sun Microsystems plans to alter its licensing to make it easier to bundle Java Runtime Environment with Linux. The company will announce the changes and at least one other open-source move at the JavaOne conference later this month, Sun executives said during a press teleconference on Thursday."

How does Mandriva do it?
In clear violation of Sun's license.
It's not as if Sun's going to go after Mandriva any more than Intel is going to go after all the distros that bundle its firmware, but it would be nice if the licenses matched the reality of the situation at the very least.

It would have been nice if the article had stated what the change in license is. The JRE comes with my distro, Mandriva Linux. How does Mandriva do it? And how does this change help other distros do the same? I hate articles like this that really say nothing.
