No. This license is sometimes called "GPL + exception", and was specifically
crafted for GNU Classpath, an implementation of Java base class library.
Visit GNU Classpath site for more information, but it is (considered to be)
compatible with BSD or Apache or others if you *use* it, as opposed to create
a derivative work of it.

Actually, one of the original intent of this exception was to make it possible
to use Apache's Java libraries.
