Sun's Java Included with Ubuntu--What does it mean?

So I'd really like to write an article about the inclusion of Sun's Java in the latest Ubuntu release, but I'm not exactly sure what that means for Java in Linux as a whole. Java has always been available as a package and is easy to install, but I think I remember hearing about licensing issues being the reason it couldn't be installed by default.

Could it also be trouble for competing JVMs in Linux? I know that I have to use Blackdown on my AMD64 because (last I checked) that was the only 64-bit VM.

Anyone know anything about this?

Maybe they(Sun) want to increase the number of developers using their software.

Who knows?
