That is correct.

No, it was for all versions, although each new version requires approval.

The state is that noone has been able to devote the time and equipment
to running the newer JDKs through the test suites which is a prerequisite

so a new binary package will be released.

Sun were generous enough to not require a fee, since the FreeBSD Foundation
is a non-profit.
