Karanbir I find you very difficult to deal with, and I don't want that. Can we try to keep things calm?
What arrangement does Canonical have for Ubuntu?
You'll need to go ask Canonical for that wont you ?
I would have thought you might be interested in a similar arrangement;
Similar to what ? You havent actually pointed out any arrangement details that might be on offer.
There is an arrangement in place, but I don't know the details. Probably a simple enquiry would find what's available now. It may well be more relaxed than what was on offer last year. IBM has been pressing Sun to open-source Java for years, I wouldn't expect any problem from IBM.
If real Java can be shipped with an acceptable though imperfect licence then I'd think the problem's solved. And as Java licensing is moving recently, I suggest it's worth your time asking.
As I have pointed out a couple of times already on this thread, my aim of asking here was if anyone wanted to pursue this. I am not looking for opinions or ideas to chase up. If you are indeed interested in helping, then help, standing on the side lines and passing commentary is not something I am ( or most people on this list ) interested in.
I have no standing with the CentOS project, and I don't wish to become a developer. I know myself well enough to understand that it's not something I do well, even though a resume of my experience might suggest otherwise.
None of that goes to say I cannot offer useful advice.
