When compiling with gcc or clang (which are AFAIK the only compiler supported for Linux-RISC-V), it uses the compiler's implementation. In the case of GCC, the license is GPL, which is the same as the OpenJDK (GPL with classpath exception). In the case of Clang/LLVM, the license is Apache License 2.0 which is less constraining than GPL.

AFAIU, we should be in the clear. Let me know if you've another read or if you know some more competent people who could answer that question.
