Mark (Wielaard) in case of openjdk-osx-build there is about 0 closed source, since its full build process is available on GoogleCode.
"Making sure all our work on Rhino, whether it is for ClosedJDK, OpenJDK, IcedTea, or the bsd/macosx-port is done upstream seems like a good idea in general." Do you means, Rhino could be put back upstream ? In the interim, do you think I could include it in my own builds (os/x port) ?
