I cannot guarantee however that the terms for future versions will always remain the same. I would suggest that you verify any changes in licensing terms when you download new versions of the software. If the JRE is to be distributed with anything other than a software package (for instance if you were also providing hardware) you need to contact Sun to obtain alternative licensing terms.
