[Francesco Potortì]

E presumo da tutte le altre distribuzioni Linux.  Oracle ha dismesso la
DLJ, che ne consentiva la distribuzione:

Removal of sun-java6 from the archive
-------------------------------------

  The release of Java update 29 from Oracle marks not only security updates, but
a change to the licensing, removing Debian's ability to distribute the non-free
JVM. The clause in the Java license under which we were able to distribute
Java, the DLJ, has been removed. As a result, the sun-java6 package is no
longer suitable for the archive, and has been removed, as documented in Debian
Bug #646524 [2]. Sylvestre Ledru suggests [3] that sun-java6 installs be
migrated to openjdk, the open-source alternative, using the following command:
	apt-get --purge remove sun-java6-jre && apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
Kai Wasserbäch has also been pointed out elsewhere [4] that this upgrade path
might not be suitable for all Java programs, and special attention should be
paid to re-testing installed Java applications on OpenJDK.
