Won't require adding a new one, but the current exempions must stay, they
are specifically for
XSD, EMF, and OSHI:

    As an exception to the terms of the GPL, you may copy, modify,
    propagate, and distribute a work formed by combining GeoServer with the
    EMF, XSD and OSHI Libraries, or a work derivative of such a
combination, even if
    such copying, modification, propagation, or distribution would otherwise
    violate the terms of the GPL. Nothing in this exception exempts you from
    complying with the GPL in all respects for all of the code used other
    than the EMF, XSD and OSHI Libraries. You may include this exception
and its grant
    of permissions when you distribute GeoServer.  Inclusion of this notice
    with such a distribution constitutes a grant of such permissions.  If
    you do not wish to grant these permissions, remove this paragraph from
    your distribution. "GeoServer" means the GeoServer software licensed
    under version 2 or any later version of the GPL, or a work based on such
    software and licensed under the GPL. "EMF, XSD and OSHI Libraries"
means
    Eclipse Modeling Framework Project and XML Schema Definition software
    distributed by the Eclipse Foundation and the OSHI library, all
licensed
    under the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0 ("EPL"), or a work based
on
    such software and licensed under the EPL.
