There are two different things, you have to do.
First is the license, that you need to accept in order to proceed.
You do this via /etc/make.conf, where you can set
ACCEPT_LICENSE="<licenses you accept>"
eg
ACCEPT_LICENSE="${ACCEPT_LICENSE} Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE"
for this specific license or
ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"
to accept every license you are presented with (that's what I have)
Second things is the fetch-restriction. This pops up, after you accepted the
license and is is what is familiar to you.
Go to URL, download, move to distfiles.

That's true. You can unmerge the sun-jdk and emerge icedtea instead.
In my experience, icedtea did not work for everything. That might have
changed, but I still use the oracle jdk.
