"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are
subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but
only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header
the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of
the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent
module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If
you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
so, delete this exception statement from your version.
OpenJDK Assembly Exception
The OpenJDK source code made available by Sun at openjdk.java.net and
openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>
version 2 only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special
exception.
Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code is
making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and
conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
As a special exception, Sun gives you permission to link this OpenJDK
Code with certain code licensed by Sun as indicated at
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable, regardless of
the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules, and to copy and
distribute the resulting executable under GPL2, provided that the
Designated Exception Modules continue to be governed by the licenses
under which they were offered by Sun.
As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Sun's GPL2 OpenJDK Code
to build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code
that Sun could not provide under GPL2 (or that Sun has provided under
GPL2 with the Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK
code, that new GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception
Modules if the new code is made subject to this exception by its
copyright holder.
