Is that (OpenJDK) still a free software? I mean the rights to modify
and
redistribute? If it isn't, is it suitable for Fedora? Or is too big
to fail
like the case of Firefox which we cannot call Firefox if we patch it.
Sorry my bad, the agreement is for being a contributor to the Oracle
Open Community at
https://oca.opensource.oracle.com/ not licensing for
redistribution. I am not in any way giving legal advice here, just
providing the info I could find. I think this is still a necessary if
you want to seriously have any Java development stack available to
Fedora Linux users though. Otherwise, it is totally doable in a self
supported way by each dev, and I'm sure they all know how to but, I
really like the fact that my distribution provides this now, it works.
