JDK-7036753 - windows license link location changed again

Sub Tasks

Description
To reproduce:

invoke any of the windows installers.  I am using the latest b139 pit of JDK 1.7.0.

On the initial welcome dialog, click the "license agreement" link embedded in the sentence "Click Install to accept the license agreement and install Java now."

The url launched is not found:

http://java.com/en/download/license/1.7.0_license.jsp

this changed before but has changed again.  I believe the IPS bundles have the right license now, this should be checked for all current JRE's about to release (6u24plus, 6u25, 6u26) and for both windows and linux versions.

Comments
Verified with http://jre.us.oracle.com/net/mizu/n/mustang/jdk6_38/bundles/windows-i586/b99-2012-10-18/jre-6u38-fcs-bin-b99-windows-i586-18_oct_2012.exe

No issues, license link is OK.
It points to http://java.com/en/download/license.jsp as expected.

Expected URL for license agreement link is http://java.com/en/download/license.jsp.
Actually, for 6u37 license agreement link is http://java.com/en/download/license/1.6.0_37_license.jsp

But 1.6.0_37_license.jsp doesn't exists.

Looking at the repo of 6u37 install

$ find . -name "*" | xargs grep "_license.jsp"
