IANAL, but I am one of the creators of the Classpath Exception, and this is the right answer. The Exception was created to support AOT compiled embedded use cases where developers would be statically linking binaries (with gcj in our case). We needed something like the libgcc license, so I wrote the first version of the Classpath Exception based on that. It has since matured, but the spirit is the same.
