我安装了最新的 JDK (1.7.0_21)。当我在 Eclipse 中查看基础类的源代码时,例如java.lang.String
文件顶部的许可证显示:
/*

* ORACLE PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL. Use is subject to license terms.
*/
此源代码来自src.zip
JDK 版本附带的文件。
当我在这里查看源代码时:http: //grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/7-b147/java/lang/String.java ?av=f
...我看到了 GPL v2.0 许可标头。

据我了解,JDK 1.7 是作为完全开源发布的,在 GPL 2.0 下获得许可。
有人可以解释许可证差异吗?
