The OpenJDK source code made available by Sun at openjdk.java.net and
|
|
duke@0
|
5 |
openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
|
|
duke@0
|
6 |
GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
|
|
duke@0
|
7 |
only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.
|
|
duke@0
|
8 |
|
|
duke@0
|
9 |
Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
|
|
duke@0
|
10 |
is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms
|
|
duke@0
|
11 |
and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
|
|
duke@0
|
12 |
|
|
duke@0
|
13 |
As a special exception, Sun gives you permission to link this
|
|
duke@0
|
14 |
OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Sun as indicated at
|
|
duke@0
|
15 |
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
|
|
duke@0
|
16 |
("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
|
|
duke@0
|
17 |
regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
|
|
duke@0
|
18 |
and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
|
|
duke@0
|
19 |
provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
|
|
duke@0
|
20 |
governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Sun.
|
|
duke@0
|
21 |
|
|
duke@0
|
22 |
As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Sun's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
|
|
duke@0
|
23 |
build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Sun
|
|
duke@0
|
24 |
could not provide under GPL2 (or that Sun has provided under GPL2 with the
|
|
duke@0
|
25 |
Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
|
|
duke@0
|
26 |
GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
|
|
duke@0
|
27 |
new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
