Does the lack of a DLJ version affect us?  The special distributor
license is no longer available from Oracle:

| As a consequence, further Oracle JDK 6 (or Oracle JDK 7) releases on
| Linux and Solaris will not be provided under the DLJ. They will
| continue to be provided under the familiar Oracle JDK license, the
| BCL.

I'm not sure if the standard JDK license agreement is sufficient.
