 OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION

 The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle 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, 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.
