Because of these previously encumbered components, it was not possible to build [[OpenJDK]] only with free software components. In order to be able to do this before the whole [[Java Class Library|class library]] is made free, and to be able to bundle [[OpenJDK]] in [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora Core]] and other free [[Linux]] distributions, [[Red Hat]] has started a project called [[IcedTea]]. It is basically an OpenJDK/[[GNU Classpath]] hybrid that can be used to bootstrap OpenJDK using only free software.<ref>{{cite web
