Sun JDK distribution issues

Hi!

Could someone explain why Fedora doesn't include Sun's JDK? I know that 
there are some issues concerning distribution (source and stuff) and I 
was looking for some details about this.

With all this brouhaha about Java possibly going GPL I was wondering 
about other ways of opening up Java so that all distro concerns are 
eliminated and without risking the fragmentation that so many developers 
fear about a GPLed Java (myself included, I value the "write-once, run 
anywhere" motto above all things).

thanks

Carlos
