+ − 4
The OpenJDK source code made available by Sun at openjdk.java.net and
+ − 5
openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
+ − 6
GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
+ − 7
only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.
+ − 8
+ − 9
Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
+ − 10
is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms
+ − 11
and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
+ − 12
+ − 13
As a special exception, Sun gives you permission to link this
+ − 14
OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Sun as indicated at
+ − 15
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
+ − 16
("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
+ − 17
regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
+ − 18
and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
+ − 19
provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
+ − 20
governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Sun.
+ − 21
+ − 22
As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Sun's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
+ − 23
build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Sun
+ − 24
could not provide under GPL2 (or that Sun has provided under GPL2 with the
+ − 25
Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
+ − 26
GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
+ − 27
new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
