Can someone answer this? To my understanding the OpenJDK is GPL only there is no LGPL offering. My understanding is that the OpenJDK will be Oracle's free to use JDK while the JRocket will be pay. If I understand the licensing correctly any product developed for the JDK intended for resale would fall under the rules of the GPL. Is this not correct? I am trying to understand this because it seems to me based on my understanding of licenses that this paints a lot of people into a corner. I am not trying to spread misinformation, this is truly a request for clarification. I don't trust Oracle one bit and want to know if my bias is affecting my perception of how this will go down based on licenses. Because it seems like the plan as I read it was two JVM's JRocket and the OpenJDK.
OK thanks, that makes sense. I did not know about the ClassPath exception. I have not used OpenJDK so I wanted to seek clarity because as I understand the license, my concerns would have been correct if the ClassPath exception did not exist. Again that you for the info.
