Harmony was Apache licensed. Avian has its own miniature class library even more permissively licensed, but it's nowhere near developed enough for most real world Java usage ( https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian/tree/master/classpath/java). Android recently switched to OpenJDK, but its previous class library was probably the most advanced fork of Harmony's class library in existence. Avian can use both OpenJDK and the old Android class library, and can JIT at runtime or AOT Java code into a standalone executable ( http://readytalk.github.io/avian/).
