JRE README says:

To run your application, a user needs the Java 2 Runtime Environment,
which is freely available from Sun for application developers to
redistribute."

The "freely available" means that it is available for free, not that it
is freely redistributable.

Suggest we modify the "freely available" part to say:

 "which is freely available from Sun. Application developers
  can redistribute it subject to the terms of the license"
