OpenJDK Binary

[Lussier, Denis]

It is completely understandable (and very reasonable) that Oracle doesn't
presently elect to package commercial quality binaries of their General
Availability version of the GPL v2 OpenJDK.

IMHO this doesn't make them evil, it makes them smart.   They are
commercial organization first and a great champion (ans massive
contributor) of the open source java movement second.
