| OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION |
| |
| The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle America, Inc. (Oracle) at |
| openjdk.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, 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. |
