While Sun distributes their Java implementation for no charge, they
don't distribute it under a "Free Software" license.  Meaning, the
license does not extend to you, the licensee, any of the essential
freedoms we consider important.

See http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html for more
information.
