Chapter 10. Classpath Exception to the GPL Version 2

"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL VERSION 2

Certain source files distributed by Oracle are subject to the following 
clarification and special exception to the GPL Version 2, but only where 
Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header 
the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
exception as provided by Oracle in the License file that accompanied this code."

Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making 
a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms and conditions of
the GNU General Public License Version 2 cover the whole combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you 
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an 
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent 
modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under
terms  of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked 
independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that 
module.  An independent module is a module which is not derived
 from or based on this library.  If you modify this library, you may
 extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are 
not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this 
exception statement from your version.
