The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle America, Inc.

under the terms of the GNU General Public License
|
|
|
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2 only

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, Oracle gives you permission to
|
|
|
|
|
link this OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by
|
|
|
|
|
Oracle 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 Oracle.

As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2
|
|
|
|
|
OpenJDK Code to build an executable that includes those
|
|
|
|
|
portions of necessary code that Oracle could not provide under
|
|
|
|
|
GPL2 (or that Oracle 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.
