can we fork OpenJDK?

  Yes.
  • Bjartr 8y ago
    Without getting sued by Oracle?

      To my knowledge that'd be the first [complete] test of GPL by the legal system, which is also a great outcome.

      That's something nobody can be sure it won't happen. OpenJDK is open source (GPL2 + classpath exception). "Java" otoh is a trademark.

      Google didn't fork OpenJDK. They now use it though, after the lawsuit!
