-
Oracle elects to use only the GNU Lesser General Public License
version 2.1 (LGPL)/GNU General Public License version 2 (GPL) for
any software where a choice of LGPL/GPL license versions are made
available with the language indicating that LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 or any
later version may be used, or where a choice of which version of
the LGPL/GPL is applied is unspecified. Unless specifically stated
otherwise, where a choice exists between another license and either
the GPL or the LGPL, Oracle chooses the other license."
