suns' java leagal issues

there was a long heated thread on fedora ML titled "Proposal: Rolling Release" and some people mentioned something about sun's java and ubuntu was mentioned repository situation - and not had a working java at all while Ubuntu's approach was much more ensible? Java 1.5 from the software management tool and you almost never have to worry about conflicts among packages from the different repositories. I've repeatedly requested these things in fedora and been repeatedly told it wasn't going to happen. the rpm provided by sun is broken, and I was advised by fedora solved not to use the rpm and to use the self installer any of the two mean that I can't use package manager to get it I can't install netbeans ..etc. from package manager ..etc. I think it's very easy to make a sun's tarball into a good rpm the have the proper Provides: section and that uses fedora's alternatives ...etc. but when I asked about this I was told they they can't be redistributed, if this is the case how did ubuntu people did it ? we have a non-free section in rpmfusion, in ubuntu world they call it "multiverse" http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components I noticed that they ship sun's java http://javachannel.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JavaOnUbuntu sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre why we don't pack suns' java like them ? is there any legal issue ? and what are the counter legal procedures done by ubuntu people in order to provide that package and redistribute it
