under a different license (not the GPL + Exception), but I'm sure
they'll work something out.

A boon? Not at all, Classpath will be (mostly) redundant and will fade
away, replaced by Sun's runtime. But as I said elsewhere, that's a good
outcome if all you are interested in is a good quality free / open
source runtime to run Java applications on...and I'm not after anything
more than that.
