Obviously, it's intended to exclude things like gcj and classpath specifically, despite their great usefulness in creating native apps out of Java bytecode, a feature not offered by Sun.
Next they will try to exclude Mono, because guess what? Mono includes GNU Classpath! Through IKVM it has a very interesting bridge between the C# and java programming languages. Reading the blog of Jeroen Frijters (or any of the blogs from Planet Classpath) is a facinating. GNU Classpath has become a catalyst for useful (and of course less useful) experiments and innovation that nobody can stop or exclude anymore (imho).
