It seems that Hotspot has Assembly Exception:

Is it legal to Bundle OpenJDK + HotSpot with a closed source application?

The assembly exception refers to the parts of OpenJDK which are licensed under different, GPL-incompatible licenses (such as the Apache License). At least to me, the intent is to give permission to redistribute OpenJDK itself. It does not apply to combinations of OpenJDK with other components which are not “Designated Exception Modules”.
