+OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION
+
+The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle America, Inc. (Oracle) at
+openjdk.org ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the GNU
+General Public License <https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
+only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.
+
+    Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
+    is making a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms
+    and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.
+
+    As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to link this
+    OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Oracle as indicated at
+    https://openjdk.org/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
+    ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
+    regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
+    and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
+    provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
+    governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle.
+
+As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 OpenJDK Code
+to build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that
+Oracle could not provide under GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2
+with the Classpath exception).  If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code,
+that new GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules
+if the new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
