Does the BSD jdk port accept code contributions from non-copyright holders?

It follows the same rule 0 as the rest of the project: http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/

i.e. your patch needs to come in under SCA.

Wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.

For example, GNU classpath has a kqueue-based selector implementation. Can we "steal" that?

No. But you can ask Casey and his coauthors if they are interested in contributing the implementation, of course.

Already did. He forfeited his copyright. FSF owns the code now.

See also the following recent thread on the freebsd-java list about another implementation:

Oh, cool. I'll send a message to Pieter to see what he's got. Thanks!
