Blackdown is definitely “Free Software”, it’s just not “Open Source” as defined by the OSF. However, the Blackdown project is the development vector for Java on Linux, as well as the organization that works directly with the OS community on Java. If you have an issue with the Linux JDK, you can simply download the SCSL source code, make the appropriate patch, and submit it to the Blackdown project. If they accept it, then there’s a good chance it will end up in a future Sun release.
I did some work on the issue myself, but I lacked sufficient technical information at the time. Linux has now matured a bit, and is now ready for someone to take another stab at it. I don’t run Linux much anymore, so I don’t really have an opportunity to fix it. Will someone who does run Linux step up to the plate?
