I agree that the license is, well, less than ideal.  We'll look into
revising it, although of all the legal issues we face I think a couple
of others are more important (e.g., resolving the tensions between the
JSPA, the GPL, and the openjdk.java.net terms-of-use).

Unfortunately we can't post any binaries there right now; I'm afraid
that's yet another open legal issue.  If you post a free build then I'd
be happy link to it from the JDK 7 Project page.
