Section (1) of the GPL forces you to give other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program. That would be
the GPL+exception version for non-AWT currently.
I believe that it is difficult to know when users must distribute
source to Classpath or their modifications. I think this can be
cleared up without changing the license.
