Just to make this explicit: A review contains also a legal review - and that includes checking the license and whether there are license incompatibilities,
This license review has already been done by the Sun legal department.
Every project has to do its on review. What others uncover and what decisions they make, is a good input into the review but still somebody has to review it.
Well, Sun payed real lawyers to review the license and this currently is the only public review that has been done by lawyers. As the Sun lawyers are known to be _very_ picky about license problems (linux distributions distribute many questionable projects that are denied by Sun because of license problems), this is the best statement you currently get.
Btw. Sun is not distributing a Linux distribution,
This is irrelevent for the project, Sun has an OSS distribution and Sun rejects to distribute questionable software (see above).
