First of all, IcedTea has nothing to do with Oracle.  It's an
independent project.

IcedTea is a build harness for OpenJDK, along with other components
(the Zero assembler and ARM ports for architectures beyond
x86/x86_64/SPARC, a Free Software plugin and Web Start implementation,
etc.).  For licensing, please consult the COPYING file in IcedTea and
the license of dependencies such as OpenJDK.  For commercial
deployment, it also may be worth consulting a lawyer.
