Yes. Last year Sun created the Distribution License for Java (DLJ) which made it possible for GNU/Linux and OpenSolaris distributions to package and redistribute Sun’s implementation of the Java SE Platform. The latest release of the Java SE 6 JDK, was released in December 2006 and Canonical has taken advantage of the DLJ to package JDK 6 for Ubuntu 7.04. A new addition to JDK 6 is Java DB, which is available as an optional add-on package.
