The license is GPL+ce. It most certainly gives you the right to redistribute binary, as long as you provide equal access to the source. Assuming no local changes, if you provide a link to download binaries, similar links to where you got the sources should be sufficient (although IANAL). http://openjdk.java.net/legal/ http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/faq.jsp#g1 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html If you've used your employer's resources though, you may be restricted from distributing the binary, depending on their terms.
