Next steps for GNU Classpath

Tue Sep 16 21:04:00 GMT 2014

I went looking for Zulu's source code. It should available since OpenJDK is GPLed. But they do not provide it unless you request it and then it looks like they only provide the parts that were based on GPL code, which implies that there is more code to their product that they aren't going to provide. That seems to violate the spirit of the GPL.
This is their readme.txt:
 Certain portions of this software are based on source code from OpenJDK
(http://openjdk.java.net/) and licensed under the GNU General Public
License version 2 (GPLv2) with the Classpath Exception (http://
openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html). For a period of three years from
the date of your receipt of this software, Azul will provide upon
request, a complete machine readable copy of the source code for such
portions based on OpenJDK on a medium customarily used for software
interchange for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing
source distribution.
 Please email azul_openjdk@azulsystems.com for further information.
 Include this version code in your email:
 Zulu 8.3.0.1 cc8d4b0a1963

 work on Windows. This defeats the purpose of Java of being
 cross-platform. You might say that Windows has Oracle's
 Java, but it is not GPLed. It cannot be redistributed or
 bundled with an app. It is huge and copyrighted. When you
 install it, it tries to screw you over by installing the Ask
 Toolbar. These are problems that GCJ does not have.

 That's an interesting site
 I haven't seen before. It claims to offer
 OpenJDK 6 u42, u47, u49 and u53. However, there
 is no such thing.
