Just to further this with actual documentation :)


1.1 What license is used for libgcj?
    libgcj is distributed under the GPL, with the 'libgcc exception'. 
This means that linking with libgcj does not by itself cause your 
program to fall under the GPL. See LIBGCJ_LICENSE in the source tree for 
more details.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
