Sun releases Java under GPLv2
Sun releases Java under GPLv2 Posted Nov 13, 2006 20:04 UTC (Mon) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Maybe jcrigby meant libgcc. Compiled-language runtime libraries (whichglibc isn't, not really) tend to be under GPL+exception or something analogous (they pretty much have to be if the language is to gain traction outside the pure-free-software world).
