openjdk sources ...

This license obviously wouldn't work for something packaged for app store delivery due to the following clause: "We grant You a revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free and limited right to (a) use one (1) copy of the binary portions of the Programs for the sole purpose of internal non-production and non-commercial evaluation and testing of the Programs, including, developing no more than a single prototype of each of Your applications"

>> Or is there some other way around this?  How was Ensemble packaged for instance?
