Virtual Extension By Inversion of Responsibility (Second Draft)

The principle is that non-source code submissions to Oracle need to be 
licensed appropriately to Oracle by the submitter.

For an individual who is not otherwise involved in an OpenJDK project, 
the most direct way to submit material while respecting the principle is 
simply to put the text in a mail to an OpenJDK list. Linking to 
non-OpenJDK web sites or lists is insufficient.

An individual who is already involved with OpenJDK such that they can 
post material on openjdk.java.net, can simply post it there. lambda-dev 
discussions about that material would be fine even without the text 
appearing on lambda-dev.
