Yes, and no. It won't be retrospective, so we can't change the license
for the versions up there. However, for some time, Sun has been open
sourcing the JARs under the CDDL, so new versions are appearing in the
repository. This is unrelated to any other open sourcing effort
(though that would possibly cover JSSE, JCE, rt.jar, tools.jar, etc if
necessary).

I saw that there is now a timeframe for open-sourcing Java [1].  Since I
just had to cope with several of Sun's jar files [2], this news made me
wonder if this will make it possible to distribute Sun's jar files via
the Maven repositories.  Or am I misunderstanding something?
