Free distributions like Fedora can't depend on proprietary tools in order to build packages, so the IcedTea project had to make it possible to compile the code using free software. When this was done, the resulting IcedTea version of OpenJDK could be used to compile itself, thus escaping the need to use non-Free software for future compiling.
ROCK Linux was started in the summer of 1996 by Claire Wolf. [3] T2 SDE was forked in 2004, when developers were dissatisfied with the project. [4] ROCK Linux was discontinued in 2010.
