another review of copyright/license stuff in openjdk-b09

there some more files without source in the tarball; the majority not required
for a Linux build, however the following files are required for the build.

$ find openjdk -name '*.jar' -o -name '*.class'|grep -v test
openjdk/corba/src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/corba/se/logutil/lib/jscheme.jar
openjdk/corba/src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/corba/se/logutil/lib/jschemelogutil.jar


this is from http://jscheme.sourceforge.net/jscheme/main.html? mentioned in the
third party readme "... Altered versions may be distributed in packages under
other licenses (such as the GNU license)." I don't know if this is altered or
not, but it would make things clearer if the source is included.

openjdk/hotspot/build/linux/Queens.class
openjdk/hotspot/build/solaris/Queens.class

Couldn't find any source for these.

openjdk/hotspot/agent/kk/src/share/lib/maf-1_0.jar
openjdk/hotspot/agent/kk/src/share/lib/jlfgr-1_0.jar

no source as well, but those are not required by the build.

I didn't look at jar and class files in test directories yet.

There are some more binary files, which are not removed by the generate-fedora
script; I'm attaching my current version of the script to build the dfsg tarball.
