Code review request for 6908131 Pure Java implementations of StrictMath.floor(double) &StrictMath.ceil(double)

[Dmitry Nadezhin]

Jeff,

This is a really interesting link.

However, I have doubts with licensing.
The owner of this project is "omaamo".
He marked FastMath.java with LGPL v3 or later.

It seems to me that LGPL v3 is not compatible with OpenJDK's GPL v2.
OpenJDK can't include fragments of LGPL v3 code without
permission of "omaamo", can it ?
