-OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION
-
-The OpenJDK source code made available by Sun at openjdk.java.net and
-openjdk.dev.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, Sun gives you permission to link this
- OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Sun 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 Sun.
-
-As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Sun's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
-build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Sun
-could not provide under GPL2 (or that Sun 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.
