To download it, you must explicitly click "I agree with licensing terms" (or something like that) on download page. While it would be possible to write a script that would automatically download it (leaving server believe you clicked on "agree") and build a package, it would be illegal to use resulting package (since you haven't really agreed with licensing terms). To download Java legally, you *must* manually download it, going through all steps on Sun/IBM/Blackdown/Whatever web site. Otherwise you are breaking the law, and Sun can sue your ass.
