GUI Builder byte code generation license issues

Yes, you can make it open-source and sell commercially.
You can also modify the UIDesigner code that is bundled and incorporate it into your application and redistribute freely.

It sounds like when you use the GUI Builder that some IntelliJ Byte Instrumentation/code gets inserted into your program.

Does this put JetBrains proprietary intellectual property into my program?
How does this affected the licensing of the resulting program (my program)? Can I make my program open source (GPL or BSD) and

can I sell it commercially?

Where is this documented? Is there a specific license like BSD that it's released under?

I'm not sure it needs to be documented. Does javac has any special license for generated .class files?

I misspoke, I meant to ask about forms_rt.jar. Is it written somewhere that forms_rt.jar can be redistributed, and what license it's under?

It's item 4 in IDEA license agreement if I don't miss something.

A while ago it was mentioned that the source to javac2 woud be released
under an open source licence. So that it could freely be distributed,
built, bundled, and possibly extended/altered by developers ( i.e.
building the form on the fly by reading the XML rather than bytecode
manipulation, or code-injection ).

I entered an issue in the tracker ages ago to include a text file
detailing the licence associated with the redistributable jars, but
nothing ever seemed to occur. And come to think of it, I can't find
said issue at all now.
