Re: Legal question to include code like com.sun.tools.javac.Main
A better alternative would be to use the Eclipse compiler, which you can easily add to your distribution as a jar file (or set of jar files). Like Apache Tomcat does. By doing so, you would also enable to use a simple JRE for running Hama, rather than depending on a full blown JDK. Not to mention other advantages, like independence of a particular Java version.

Re: Legal question to include code like com.sun.tools.javac.Main
Thanks for the information. It's very clear. The last question. Scala's licensed under [1], so assuming it's legal to use it's nsc (compiler package) code because its license is not listed in [2] and does not violate Apache's. Am I correct in that assumption? Thanks again for kindly help!

What you may not do is include tools.jar in your distribution since the license for that JAR is not compatible with distribution under the ALv2.
