The term "open" in the context of community names typically refers to 
open source, as defined by the Open Source Definition, which can be 
found online at https://opensource.org/osd . You can find the open 
source licensing information for OpenJDK at http://openjdk.java.net/legal/ .

A software licensing choice expressed by the use of the term "open" in 
the context of a software development community name typically does not 
determine the architecture (or any other properties or qualities) of 
software produced by such communities, aside from the aforementioned choice.
