License: openjdk version 9: files under GPL v2.0 only - (outside of hotspot) - please review

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Monika,

it seems that at least the files from jdk/src/java.base are relatively
new files (they have all been added in 2016) so I assume this may be a
simple "copy and paste" error which should be fixed.

I'm not so sure about the make and build tools files. I think they
don't necessarily need to have the ClassPath Exception because they
are used only during the build. But of course it will be simpler if
all Java files would have the same license.

Regards,
Volker
