Who's talking about a license? Oracle is attempting to copyright that
HelloWorld code. Strictly speaking they didn't even have to include that
"Copyright (c) 1995, 2008, Oracle..." bit, but since they did their
intentions are very clear. They also refer to themselves as the
copyright holder a little bit further down the blurb.

Everything about that boilerplate has to do with copyright.
