OpenJDK is on pretty solid legal ground, no?

Haha, OpenJDK is wholly owned by Oracle. There is no separate legal entity. License wise it's GPL w/ CPE.

  • Plus the OpenJDK Community TCK Licensing Agreement.

    No-one's seriously concerned that adopting OpenJDK could land them in legal trouble, as far as I know. I don't think a separate legal entity is always necessary.

    • Well, depends what you mean by solid legal ground then.

      Nobody is / should be seriously concerned by using the open source OpenZFS modules with their Linux distro of choice.
