"Red Hat has signed Sun's OpenJDK contributor agreement and will now 
align the work its done on its IcedTea project, which was its own 
implementation of some parts of the Java SE JDK, with OpenSDK, said 
Shaun Connolly, vice president of product management for JBoss.

IcedTea brought together the Fedora project with key Java technologies 
in a Linux environment, and currently provides open-source alternatives 
for the few remaining proprietary sections in the OpenJDK project, he 
said. Fedora is a Red-Hat sponsored Linux project."
