"non-commercial only" is a restriction on the "freedom" of the
software. I don't think this causes a problem with putting it into the
"non-free" repo. We already have "non-commercial only" software in the
"non-free" repo.
Well, we have to read Sun's user agreement to see if it is OK to redistribute it. If
it allows redistribution I vote for distributing the RPM in rpmfusion.
Btw, I recently checked adobe's flash agreement. That one definitely forbids
redistribution.
