No. The only problem is we have to provide entire sources + our patches along with the tarball *somewhere*, just to comply with GPL. > I'm tired of the "fetch the diablo-jdk from FreeBSD and agree with > the license".

There are actually two possibilities, i.e., a) build openjdk from completely open-sourced and bootstrap-less environment or b) distribute special binary openjdk tarballs only for bootstrapping. b) is pretty straight forward (albeit the source distribution problem) and I am working on it as an interim solution. A preliminary port is here: https://redports.org/browser/jkim/java/bootstrap-openjdk However, I believe a) is the ultimate solution, e.g., ECJ/GCJ + GNU classpath + CacaoVM/JamVM/Avian, etc. (VMKit/LLVM is in my wildest dreams...)
