Wouldn't it be possible to bundle a free Java implementation? I haven't
followed the status of the ongoing efforts toward a free Java recently,
but if it is stable enough and cross-platform (I heard a Mac OS X
version started to be developed last month) it could be considered.

And this should be no problem. LibreOffice should not be afraid of an
OpenOffice.org banner. And anyway most of the early adopters will likely
already know, and in many cases use, OpenOffice.org.
