I'm just a casual contributor to some Apache projects, not an open
source guru. Maybe you confused the ASF with the FSF?

I'm honored that you eventually noticed I was a DD after hundreds of
uploads and contributions here since 2013 ;)

I made this suggestion because:
- I happen to maintain java-package
- The Oracle JRE consists in 99% of open source code.
- This alternative is possible from a technical point of view. I'm not
to judge its morality, Andreas can decide himself if it suits his ethic
and needs.
- As far as I know mentioning contrib/non-free packages on the Debian
mailing lists isn't forbidden.
Note that I'm not arguing against rebuilding Doko's openjdk package,
which is indeed remarkable for its portability. But maybe Andreas needs
a quick solution and prefers avoiding the long compilation time of OpenJDK.

You are just stating I'm a bad DD that should go back to school, I've
seen better praises ;)
