Licensing question

[Dalibor Topic]

Per the OpenJDK FAQ:

Can I expect to get specific legal advice or answers to my legal questions on OpenJDK mailing lists?

In general, no. The OpenJDK mailing lists serve for technical work around development of specific OpenJDK projects.

In my opinion asking legal questions on mailing lists is at best just a waste of everyone's time. 

Cheers,
Dalibor Topić
