>>The libgcj license contains an exception which allows you to link any 
code against it, regardless of the license of that code. Therefore, you 
are not required to license your own software under the GPL in order to 
distribute it with libgcj.
There is also no requirement to mention that your software uses GCJ, 
however, if you wish to do so, we welcome the publicity!
