1.5 +OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION
1.6 +
1.7 +The OpenJDK source code made available by Sun at openjdk.java.net and
1.8 +openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
1.9 +GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
1.10 +only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.
1.11 +
1.12 + Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
1.13 + is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms
1.14 + and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
1.15 +
1.16 + As a special exception, Sun gives you permission to link this
1.17 + OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Sun as indicated at
1.18 + http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
1.19 + ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
1.20 + regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
1.21 + and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
1.22 + provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
1.23 + governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Sun.
1.24 +
1.25 +As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Sun's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
1.26 +build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Sun
1.27 +could not provide under GPL2 (or that Sun has provided under GPL2 with the
1.28 +Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
1.29 +GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
1.30 +new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
