| 1 | +GNU CLASSPATH |
| 2 | +============= |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Classpath is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public |
| 5 | +License with the following clarification and special exception. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is |
| 8 | +making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and |
| 9 | +conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole |
| 10 | +combination. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you |
| 13 | +permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an |
| 14 | +executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent |
| 15 | +modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under |
| 16 | +terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked |
| 17 | +independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that |
| 18 | +module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or |
| 19 | +based on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this |
| 20 | +exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to |
| 21 | +do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement |
| 22 | +from your version. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +As such, it can be used to run, create and distribute a large class of |
| 25 | +applications and applets. When GNU Classpath is used unmodified as the |
| 26 | +core class library for a virtual machine, compiler for the java |
| 27 | +languge, or for a program written in the java programming language it |
| 28 | +does not affect the licensing for distributing those programs |
| 29 | +directly. |

| 31 | +Classpath::Documentation Redistribution Policy |
| 32 | +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We |
| 35 | +believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just |
| 36 | +like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released |
| 37 | +under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public |
| 38 | +License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL) was |
| 39 | +created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses |
| 40 | +originally designed for software. |
