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

Hi Volker,
	Thank you very much for your response.
I completely agree for build and make files. They can be GPL only.
Best regards,
Monika

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
