Erm, are you getting this in the correct context? Umm, I think so:

I read that as Sun java or no Sun java, I might very well be wrong, but GCJ and the GNU Classpath implement "the same or similar functionality or APIs as the Software"
The two are license incompatable and I am sure Sun will keep it that way.
Which sounds fair enough to me. They are not bequeathing their classes for use with GCJ, but you can ship whatever you like. But not both ;)
From my last e-mail:

(emphasis mine)
Yes, that was misread by myself and after reading debian-legal, jpackage, fedora-devel and the DLJ better understand the situation. You can't ship both. Michael
