I believe what we can identify for certain are, files which are NOT (exclusively) copyright by Sun, or files which have an explicit claim of a different license. To do more, we would have to have chain-of-custody record and records like IBM's Certificate of Originality. I do not believe Sun kept track of such details--but I only know for certain that IBM does. I do not know for certain that Sun didn't.

For the record, the current Oracle download page to the Java 2 5.0 archives is: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive -downloads-javase5-419410.html I downloaded the AMD64 Linux one, 'cause my main Linux system is AMD64. (Along with half-a-dozen Linux VM images on my MacBook.)

(It is good that others use different routes to files which claim to be the same, that will help identify shenanigans.)

My search-fu is weak tonight, the only list of "The 37" I can find is in Oracle's opening slides. That's enough, so I'm just going to use that. (Anyway, I can cut-n-paste from it, so that's all I need anyway.)

This is going to take some fiddling, so I'll post the results in an update. But the first one I looked at, java.awt.font, has a mix of IBM, Sun, and Taligent copyrights.
