We are not affiliated with the blackdown project. That group does not
release software under the GPL. Instead, they port Sun's proprietary JDK to
GNU/Linux. It's an important job, because without it those of us who run
free operating systems would not have a Java runtime to use when developing
a free replacement. However, the software they release is not free in the
"free speech" sense of the word.
