Media is now opensource

[Kevin Rushforth]

All of the JavaFX runtime is open source except for the third-party code 
that we cannot ship (e.g., the On2 codec that Kirill mentioned, and the 
T2K font library, for which we have an open replacement), and the FX 
deploy code, which depends on the JRE deploy code. Additionally, the JMX 
code, which is shipped as part of the JDK (not the JRE) as javafx-mx.jar 
has not been open-sourced, but it is only used for optional tooling (and 
currently lacks an owner).

Yes.

That's pretty much it.  VP6, T2K, deploy, FX JMX tooling.
