Re: is it OK to compile with Sun's JDK?
Hi Daniel,
The Sun SDK is free both to use and to sell programs that have been
compiled with it. The problem with it is only in terms of the source
code for the SDK itself. Java developers are not free to review the
source and/or improve on it.
Hope this clear it up for

Could someone tell me, if I use Sun's Java 1.4.x SDK on Debian to byte-compile some .java files, will I have to pay Sun some royalty in order to use the compiled program? I thought Sun is making the SDK available for free in order to promote Java against .NET.
