Thank you for the link. Gentoo seems to have acquired
a community source license and compiles the j2sdk on its own, however
distributed are only binaries, I checked this on two Gentoo mirrors.
The license is given on the page of your link -- it forbids a
redistribution of the source. However the redistribution of executable
code is allowed for "research" use without any further restrictions.
