Right.

The link I gave is to the version that came from the "free world"
before (in the past) we merged wikis with Sun - as/when we did that the
vast majority of build / developer documentation was written in the
go-oo wiki and eclectically owned / under some very liberal license.
Since the licensing terms of future contribtuons by Sun / Oracle is not
that clear, I would prefer to avoid re-using that work verbatim. However
- clearly, the function of each module is the same, so an alternative
description that captures the same meaning would be wonderful in modern
cases. So - I would suggest copy/pasting the link I gave, and then
re-phrasing any missing descriptions from the most recent version - if
that is possible ?

In a word; no - not unless it is fair use, or written by a friendly,
non-Oracle contributor [ at least, that is my take ].
ATB,
Michael.
