Clarify license #512

It's pretty difficult to understand what is licensed under which license. Is the project Zlip / LPGL or GNU? Is it possible to chose any license or are there sections that are covered by one license rather than the other?

Different parts are covered by different licenses. The software is a composite. The portions of the software that are written by us are Zlib licensed. However, since a signficant part of the end result is OpenJDK, that part falls under their license, which is a variety of different things as well. Most of their code is GPLv2+CPE, though other portions are different.

I think that's covered pretty well already. Is there something you can't find?

I mean some of the newer ones are missing headers it looks like. But the vast majority have headers.

Yup. That's what I was asking. Looks like ByteCode is missing license information.
