This FAQ is about Java SE builds, not the OpenJDK builds.

I don't know if there is a more recent version

It is, I definitely agree, but the statement I quoted is pretty darn straight-forward.

But it's also wrong. Is there any legal precedent establishing what the "GPL with classpath exception" even means? Does each build of the OpenJDK come with it's own license?
