The license mismatch is clearly a problem.  Although as long as the GPL distributables are
available from Sun separately (and I believe they all are, right?) then a reasonable
interpretation is that the "OBL" applies only to the non-GPL components and that the GPL
applies normally.

This seems like more of a accounting error (putting the license in the wrong place) than a
license violation.
