Part II: Access to Repositories
The Project is committed to producing an implementation of Java that
can be licensed freely under the Apache License. To do this, we wish
to know what, if any, previous exposure you have had to the source for
any of the parts of a Java implementation including virtual machines,
class libraries, tooling, etc.
The following activities are not considered "accessing the source
code" and would not generally disqualify you from committing to the
related repository here at Apache Harmony
a) Having a copy of src.jar (or equivalent) on a computer as long as
you never viewed or edited the contents of the file.
b) While running a debugger on a Java language program, having had
occasion to step into the source code for the implementation as
long as you did not attempt to understand or debug the
implementation code itself.
c) Having implemented "plug-ins" or other component software which
interact with an implementation, but doing so only with reference
to the published service provider interfaces.
d) Have written or executed test cases that probed the behavior of
an implementation as long as you did so with reference only to
published specifications and interfaces.
The following is a list of the components of the project each labeled
with an ID (ex. JVM-1):

Apache License v2, you may not be a contributor to the related component
of Apache Harmony unless the copyright owner of that implementation either:
a) submits the implementation to this project under the Software Grant or
the Corporate Contribution License Agreement (the CCLA);
b) if the copyright owner is your current employer, signs a CCLA and
lists you as a designated employee; or
