  9. We want free and open source software applications under certain

  12. compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License.

  25. For the avoidance of doubt, except that if any license choice
  26. other than GPL or LGPL is available it will apply instead,
  27. Oracle elects to use only the General Public License version 2
  28. (GPLv2) at this time for any software where a choice of GPL
  29. license versions is made available with the language indicating
