github.com/apache/skywalking-eyes@v0.6.0/assets/lcs-templates/OpenJDK-assembly-exception-1.0.txt (about) 1 The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle America, Inc. 2 (Oracle) at openjdk.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed 3 under the terms of the GNU General Public License 4 <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2 only 5 ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special 6 exception. 7 8 Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with 9 other code is making a combined work based on this 10 library. Thus, the terms and conditions of GPL2 cover the 11 whole combination. 12 13 As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to 14 link this OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by 15 Oracle as indicated at 16 http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html 17 ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an 18 executable, regardless of the license terms of the 19 Designated Exception Modules, and to copy and distribute 20 the resulting executable under GPL2, provided that the 21 Designated Exception Modules continue to be governed by 22 the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle. 23 24 As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 25 OpenJDK Code to build an executable that includes those 26 portions of necessary code that Oracle could not provide under 27 GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2 with the Classpath 28 exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new 29 GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception 30 Modules if the new code is made subject to this exception by 31 its copyright holder.
