Someone has mentioned that in order to be able to use the open
source software you must make your software open source as
well. Our software is not open source and we do not want to
make open source. Is it possible to simply include the open
source Java runtime in our packaging, which is a commercial
product? <span style=""> </span>For our situation, we are not
modifying any part of the open source code but using it to
generate byte code from our code base. We also would need to
distribute the Java JRE of the open source project with our code
in order to run the application. </p>

<p>No. That is simply not true, and has never been true of any
Java-related licensing model. Your application does not have to be
released under an open source license to run on top the JRE or to
use the Java compiler.<br>
