I find license agrrements in English legal terms hard to understand. 
Does anyone know: Am I allowed to take the source code of a Java class 
included in Oracle JDK 8 SE, copy it to a new class, modify that new 
class, and distribute the .class-file with a closed-source commercial 
product? If so, under what conditions?
