libjsig licensing issue

Hello,

Not sure where it belongs here, but I have just notice that the JVM signal 
chaining library (libjsig) source code is licensed with GPL but not 
GPL+classpath exception (see src/os/linux/jsig.c). This will means that any 
apps that link against openjdk's libjsig would be affected by GPL licensing. 
Is it possible for Oracle to license height.c with classmate exception?

Thanks,
Sunny Chan
