Hello,

With the standard disclaimers that IANAL and "this is not legal advice," I suggest you review the "Do I lose any rights to my contribution under the OCA?" question in the Oracle Contributor Agreement FAQ:

HTH,

Hi,

I was contacted by the maintainer of the Spire project (https://github.com/non/spire). They would like to port the fast BigInteger algorithms to Scala and they're asking whether the patch (i.e. just the code I and Alan Eliasen wrote) could be made available under a MIT or BSD license. I don't have a problem with it, and neither does Alan, but I was wondering if there were any legal concerns from the JDK team. Thanks, Tim
