             nThis:


The files under openjdk/jdk/src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/hat/
contain both the standard GPLv2.0 and SPLv1.0 legal language in their
boilerplate. Since the terms of the GNU General Public License and the
Sun Public License have conflicting terms this would seem to make them
not redistributable. And various GNU/Linux distributions do exclude these files
from their packages.
