License

Summary

Eliya JDK is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception — the same licence as upstream OpenJDK. This combination permits production use, commercial use, redistribution, and linking from proprietary applications without those applications becoming GPL-licensed.

What you can do

• Use Eliya in production, including commercial products.
• Run Eliya as the JVM for proprietary applications — the Classpath Exception means your application does not become GPL by virtue of running on Eliya.
• Redistribute Eliya unchanged.
• Modify Eliya (source is public); modifications must be redistributed under the same licence if distributed.

What you must do

• If you redistribute Eliya (modified or not), include the licence text and preserve copyright notices.
• If you modify and redistribute Eliya's source code, publish the modifications under GPLv2+CE.
