Retina state of affairs?

[Scott Palmer]

As I understand it, you can't bundle Oracle's JRE 8 until it is officially released, but once it is release you are allowed to bundle according to the rules in the license agreement (which i suppose is subject to change and all that). 
OpenJDK8 may be more flexible.
