The JRE nowinstalled in my OS v11.1 is java-1_6_0-openjdk. There is some 
suspicion that this release lacks a feature that is preventing me from 
Making my JAlbum photo album, so I am thinking of replacing this JRE with 
java-1_6_0-sun, which appears in the YaST software management list. 

I would have thought that this would be as easy as uninstalling the 
existing JRE and installing Sun's. But I find the following page:

http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Sun%27s_Java_on_SUSE_Linux#Switching_between_two_different_Java_JREs_or_SDKs

which contains the following sentence:

*****
Because of licensing issues Sun's Java Edition can not be included on the 
CDs of the download edition of openSUSE.
*****

and gives a "quick guide" for installing it. This is not an obsolete page 
(it even mentions openSuSE v11.1). How can I reconcile the sentence above 
with the presence of the rpm for the Sun release?
