Issue

  • Can Red Hat re-distribute the Oracle JDK and JRE?

Resolution

Oracle has recently announced that it intends to retire the Sun Distributor License for Java (DLJ). This decision does not affect Red Hat's ability to re-distribute the Oracle JDK and JRE with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat has a valid license to re-distribute the Oracle JDK and JRE under the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java (BCL).
