| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle at openjdk.java.net and
|
|---|
| 5 | openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
|
|---|
| 6 | GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
|
|---|
| 7 | only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
|
|---|
| 10 | is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms
|
|---|
| 11 | and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to link this
|
|---|
| 14 | OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Oracle as indicated at
|
|---|
| 15 | http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
|
|---|
| 16 | ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
|
|---|
| 17 | regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
|
|---|
| 18 | and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
|
|---|
| 19 | provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
|
|---|
| 20 | governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
|
|---|
| 23 | build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Oracle
|
|---|
| 24 | could not provide under GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2 with the
|
|---|
| 25 | Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
|
|---|
| 26 | GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
|
|---|
| 27 | new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
