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.+
