This really doesn't change anything, AFAICT.

Most of the JARs are already open sourced under Glassfish (CDDL).

I suppose there may be some additional GPL'd ones in OpenJDK. But  
they'll only be the Java7 versions, which won't be released for a  
long time.

AFAIK, the license on the problematic old versions of JARs remains as  
is.
