- bitmapbrother 10y agoThat's not true. OpenJDK is licensed under the GPL v2 with the Classpath Exception.
- dragandj 10y agoFYI, Classpath exception does not remove GPL from OpenJDK, or enable anyone to create a non-GPL JDK. It allows you to create Java programs that are themselves not GPL.
- emiliobumachar 10y agoThe Lesser GPL exists solely to allow linking to non-free programs. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.en.html https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.en.html
