One is sufficient to impair CentOS; Les, make a contribution
of $10k$ and we'll get a formal opinion. If that is
unappealing, tender along a update patch for the bottom of the
CentOS wiki page Java installation instructions (the top
still works just fine). Absent deeds, words are empty.

Thre is plenty of trolling and people offering casual legal
opinions at 24x7 in debian-legal for many years, and
presently in fedora-adv for the last couple days.
