The OpenJDK legal page[1] contain a reference to (a copy of?) the Oracle Contributor Agreement[2] (cf. the more central OCA[3]?).
The OpenJDK legal page also refers to a FAQ for the OCA[4] which might be same as the more central FAQ[5].
By either path, the OCA FAQ contains a bunch of links that are broken:
- Page 5, the "feedback through email" link points to some place on www.sun.com that bounces to a generic Oracle and Sun page[6].
- Page 5, there is a link that says it points to version 1.5 ("in the interest of transparency"), but which in fact points to the current version[3], and there claim to be links to versions 1.3[7] and 1.4[8], neither of which can be found on the oss.oracle.com web site.
- Page 1 has a link to a different OCA for use by the US Government[9], which can't be found.
What would it take to bring these documents up to date?
