Below is the link to the JCK/TCK and to be able to use the OpenJDK name you
must sign the agreement and then you get access to the JCK which is the
certification test API. Then you get to run certification tests for every
build, if I read the agreement correctly.

Is that (OpenJDK) still a free software? I mean the rights to modify and
redistribute? If it isn't, is it suitable for Fedora? Or is too big to fail
like the case of Firefox which we cannot call Firefox if we patch it.
