I don't understand. How can you accept a license on the basis of "c'mon, you don't actually have to adhere to it"?

And how can this be acceptable to Ubuntu? Will they stop distributing classpath and friends or will they break the license until Sun says something? If that is the case, why was the license a problem before?
