http://lxnews.org/2011/09/05/oracle-stops-shipping-java/

"September 5, 2011"
"Oracle has decided to stop shipping its proprietary Java packages
for Linux, telling everyone to move to OpenJDK instead."

" Oracle has retired the “Operating System Distributor License for Java” (DLJ)
that was created by Sun in 2006"

"the need for Oracle’s Java implementation has steadily decreased since
the release of the OpenJDK 6, adding that the OpenJDK is proven and mature
and is the chosen package of most Linux distributors."
