Sean Owen commented on SPARK-5813:
----------------------------------
I kind of misstated this. I think this issue is more fundamentally one of
distribution. I don't believe others are entitled to redistribute Oracle's
JDK/JRE. So I don't think Spark can provide AMIs that contain the Oracle
implementation.
Providing tools to help someone build an AMI with Oracle JDK is different.
However there too I don't think you can actively hide and agree to the license
agreement, or slip in what you think is an equivalent license agreement
process. It's not our call to make.
Dumb question, are AMIs being hosted and redistributed by the Spark project? I
wasn't aware of these if so. Whoever does, yes, needs to think about what
software licensing terms mean for redistribution. It's perhaps surprising to
most people, and an artifact of history, that these OSS licenses kick in almost
solely when you distribute, not use, the software!
Anyway: every installer that I've seen that provides the Oracle JDK is a
wrapper around their downloader and EULA script. You could embed that process
in a script, if you dare. My hunch is that it's not worth the trouble, if
there's no obvious demand or motivation.
