> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis

> There are some classes in my source code that appear to have been copied from the Sun JDK, then modified slightly to be a better fit for us.
> My understanding is that neither the classic JDK (see https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewLicense-Start section F) nor the OpenJDK (gpl v2 -- see http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html and http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html) is compatible with the apache license.
> But, I'd love to be wrong. :)
