"de-facto open source Java distro" ? You mean "open source build for Java", because OpenJDK is open source, here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk https://github.com/openjdk/jdk One can build JDK themselves, it is not that hard.

JDK is a set of multiple artifacts: JVM, compiler, standard library, other tools (keytool, etc). That's why I call it "distro". Matter of terminology, I guess.

  But all of those are in OpenJDK repo, so is de facto open source, just like linux kernel. You can't call a deb package with kernel as de-facto opensource, because that is just a package not the source.

    Especially that they do basically no development at all on said sources. It is almost completely financed by Oracle.
