Sorry about the confusion I've made.
Basically, I would like to ship OpenJDK's JRE with my App, instead of
Oracle's JRE which requires a license/support fee.
Shipping OpenJDK with our app is purely for the convenient to our
customer. There is no reason for us to modify OpenJDK
However, according to OpenJDK license which is GPLv2 with "Classpath"
Exception. So my guess is we can ship OpenJDK with our app without
the obligation of open up our source code.
However, to be very sure, I would like to ping this forum to see if
I miss any thing, and also to find out if any one are on the same
route
Thanks
-Dan
