Following on Oracle's announcement that OpenJDK will now be the
reference implementation of Java, they have discontinued the non-free
"Operating System Distributor License for Java" (DLJ), which was used
for many years to ship the Sun JDK in Linux distributions including
Ubuntu (through the Canonical Partner archive). Oracle recommends that
all Linux distributions migrate to shipping OpenJDK packages, and that
all users migrate to those packages, or download the Oracle binary
builds (based on the OpenJDK source code) directly from
http://oracle.com/java.

Oracle also recently posted several critical security patches to Java 6,
including fixes for some remote exploits through the Java browser
plugin. Since the Operating System Distributor License has been
discontinued, Canonical no longer has permission to distribute updates
to the Sun JDK packages, and is therefore unable to deliver these
critical security patches to Ubuntu users.
