Hacked OpenJDK

[Lussier, Denis]

Hi Frans,

I'm NOT a lawyer and I don't work or speak for Oracle.

I am an OpenJDK Packager, www.openscg.org, and therefore have some
experience on this issue.

I believe the spirit of the legaleeze on this is not necessarily evil.  :-)
If what you build & distribute is different than OpenJDK, then don't call
it "Java" and don't call it "OpenJDK".
