They open-sourced many of the java bits, yes. They're working toward a
full FOSS release as well, but currently several key pieces of java
code still remain under the older restricted license. Until this code
is either rewritten, or released outright, it won't be usable.
Watching the jpackage list is a good way to track the movement of
java.
