I'm new to the mailing so if this is not the proper forum please direct 
me to the right list (I have tried reaching some of the email contacts 
listed on the web site and get no reply).

We want to port Blackdown to a Linux distribution running on a CPU not 
currently supported. Reading the information on the Blackdown and Sun 
web sites leaves me with some questions with regards to distributing 
our build which would be derived from both Sun's source and Blackdown's 
patches.

My main questions are...

1. Does applying the Blackdown patches change any of the licensing 
requirements. In other words does it add any restrictions to the Sun 
licensing requirements compared to only using the Sun sources?

2. Are the Blackdown patches to the JRE available for download?

3. Are the Blackdown patches to the JDK available for download?

4. If the answer to questions 3 and/or 4 is no, is it available if we 
fax proof that we are licensed. And if so to both the JRE and SDK 
patches?

Advanced thanks for taking the time to respond.
Marc
