If --legal-notices　option is set to default or nothing is specified,, GPLv2 Legal Documents are copied from legal/java.base/ directory, such as LICENSE, ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO and ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION.

It requests not to deduplicate and hence I would say it applies to all platforms.   The option could look like:

e.g. `--dedup-legal-notices excludes=jdk.javadoc`
