If you want to distribute the JDK with your product you cannot bundle it with your product unless you pay Sun the mega-$$ for that right. *HOWEVER*, you are allowed to bundle the JRE with your product (which is the JDK w/out the compiler), and if we get things going we should have a JRE available as well as a JDK.
