You'd have to recheck Sun's licensing for their binaries.  I seem to 
recall them not being redistributable either (jpackage requested such 
from Sun way back when).

Keep in mind that Ubuntu has the luxury of being based outside of any 
(most) legal jurisdictions, so can potentially skirt issues like that.

Point is: fedora (and rpmfusion) still do care about legal 
redistributability.
