Description
Openwhisk is under apache license 2.0. We should be cautious about using JDK in runtime java repo or any other repo.
Oracle java is licensed under oracle BCL.
OpenJDK is licensed under GNU GPL.
Neither of them is friendly to Apache license.
Apache defines the relationship with other licenses here: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
