3. What is OpenJDK ?
OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit) is a free and open source
implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).[1] It is
the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006. The
implementation is licensed under the GNU General Public License
(GNU GPL) with a linking exception. Were it not for the GPL linking
exception, components that linked to the Java class library would be
subject to the terms of the GPL license. OpenJDK is the official Java
SE 7 reference implementation.[2][3]
[2] Moving to OpenJDK as the official Java SE 7 Reference Implementation
[3] Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 Reference Implementations
