GNU CLASSPATH
=============

Classpath is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License with the following clarification and special exception.

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 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.

As such, it can be used to run, create and distribute a large class of
applications and applets. When GNU Classpath is used unmodified as the
core class library for a virtual machine, compiler for the java
languge, or for a program written in the java programming language it
does not affect the licensing for distributing those programs
directly.

Classpath::Documentation Redistribution Policy
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We
believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just
like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released
under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public
License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL) was
created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses
originally designed for software.
