Oracle Reaches Settlement with FTC Over Java SE Security

[silicon_toad2000]

Oracle has reached a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) over charges that it misled consumers about the security of its
Java SE software. In the terms of the settlement, Oracle does not admit
to wrongdoing, and the company will pay no fines, but it will be
required to notify users if they are running unsecure versions of Java
SE and help them remove those versions. Java SE is installed on about
850 million computers.
