Due to limited intellectual property protection and enforcement in

countries.
This is just Oracle saying that they will not offer downloads to
people in embargoed countries (e.g. Cuba). Debian does a similar
thing. This does not prevent anyone from taking that download and
giving it to a Cuban.
Oracle saying that they won't offer downloads to people in embargoed nations
would be "we will only distribute the source code to...", not "the source
code may only be distributed to..." The way it's actually worded, that
limit applies to everyone, not just Oracle.
