OK. Since nobody objected and some people reacted positively to this and
since it is basically just a clarification of the intend of the current
license text I like to go forward with it.

I can use the same scripts that I used for the GNU Classpath AWT
relicensing. I will use it on all java and native source files in
Classpath and all the java files in the libgcj tree which have been
merged with their Classpath version. I will also change the
documentation, web files, LIBGCJ_LICENSE, etc when they mention the
license and/or exception text.

Attached is the diff to the LIBGCJ_LICENSE file and a sample diff for an
ordinary java source file.

I have already done most of this in my local tree but have to carefully
check the results by hand to make sure that I didn't make any mistakes.
When I check it in (on monday) I will post it on the classpath@gnu.org
and java-patches@gcc.gnu.org lists (but omitting most of the actual
patches to the source files since they are big and boring).

Any objections or comments?

Cheers,

Mark
