Line 4: If Blackdown is neither free nor open... shouldn't it be removed from the "Free compilers and interpreters" category? [[User:Pcmacman\|pcmacman]] 17:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC) Blackdown was just a group of volunteers that signed the necessary licenses with Sun in order to access the source code and be able to redistribute binaries. We also did a bit of actual porting work, because at the time, there was (IIRC) not a Linux port of the JDK :). That was basically all to it - porting and proxying for all the Linux distributors that didn't want to sign the source code and redistribution license.
