Sun Set To Move On GPL License For Open-Source Java - Sun Microsystems, General Public License, Software - CRN
The company is very close to announcing that it will put the mobile (ME) and standard (SE) editions of the Java platform into the GNU General Public License (GPL), with the Java Enterprise Edition and GlassFish reference implementation (currently open-sourced under Sun’s Common Development and Distribution License, or CDDL) to follow, several industry sources said.

I really am waiting on baited breath for this. Once it goes GPL I can find have NATIVE Java on my FreeBSD box at home without out having to jump through a lot of hoops to to install it.
