No.

I guess I do then (and also for my Mac). Is that a bad thing?

I don't know and yes it is something that changed after Oracle bought 
Sun, because I definitely do not remember a PEUL license. Once I 
installed the GPL version it just then prompted me to update and update 
and update. I guess I just didn't notice the change of the license and 
did what any avergae user does and just clicks through the EULA.
