We formerly decided to treat each combination of license + exception as a separate license since the exception can change the terms materially. For instance GPL + Classpath is more permissive than LGPL. From a practical point of view, the exception creates a different license. TomThanks for pointing that out. That agreement must have been reached before i joined the group. I agree that approach makes the most sense.
