I'm learned in the ways of Alpha assembler. I just wanted to point out that an AlphaLinux port of an earlier JDK already exists, and it may save us a lot of time to grok from it. I e-mailed the maintainer, and he was concerned as to what the current licensing issues are with Sun, since Sun's latest JDK licensing agreement is preventing him from porting the latest JDK. Since I'm not familiar with the current JDK licensing issues, I figured I'd ask you. Under what conditions do we as porters have access to the JDK 1.2.2 source code?
