If there is anything positive about this news, it looks theoretically
possible that
jpackage.org could distribute the JDK directly instead of
requiring people to build their own RPM from .spec.
Aside from this, yes, Fedora distributes only 100% Free and Open Source
Software. And Red Hat continues its goal of implementing the entire
Java stack as FOSS, in gcj + Classpath.
Do not sacrifice liberty for a little short-term convenience.
