The JRE has always been redistributable.  The JDK hasn't as far as I know.  That probably applies to JavaFX as well.  The SDK isn't redistributable, but the runtime is.  Read the license and the documentation files that come with the JDK.  They say what parts are redistributable and what you aren't allowed to exclude etc.
