Hi :) It's all a lot more simple than we would like it to be. Oracle owns Java and openJava. OpenJava does have a community so it has a bit more stability than the java that most people use but it's still ultimately owned by Oracle. Most people think it's independant or really Free but it's not.
If licenses have "Sun" or anything else then they are out of date and should have the Oracle replacement ones instead. No-one forked openJava in the way that TDF forked OpenOffice.

So if our screenshot really shows Sun >Microsystems as vendor, then this screenshot should be replaced. /Sigrid > >-- >Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] >Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ >Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette >List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ >All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted > > > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
