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. |
