Long story short yes, if yo wish to distribute jdk *binary* it have to pass java compliance suite.
Only if you ship it as "Java" and/or "OpenJDK". If you ship it as, e.g., icedtea-11, nobody can force you to run the JCK.
(And the binary names "java" and "javac" are interfaces, so there is really no way they can prevent us from shipping executables, or at least symlinks, named that way.)
