Currently out GPL compatibility is ``self-certified'', i.e. we sincerely believe that the WPL is compatible with the GPL but we don't actually have a signed statement from RMS. Maybe when [EMAIL PROTECTED] reply to my mail of 12 Dec (nd reminder of 21 Jan) ... The WPL (http://wonka.acunia.com/licence.html) does not impose any conditions which are not also imposed by the BSD license, from which I syllogistically conclude that it is compatible with the GPL. > Yann> Isn't it possible to merge their implementation of AWT with > Yann> Classpath ? > > Yes, it just requires the will and the time to do so.

We've also looked at this from the reverse direction, i.e. could we make a version of Rudolph to run on nanoX or Qt or whatever, for devices (such as the Sharp Zaurus) which already have such a graphics library?

Yes, we have GridBagLayout. 8-> (if you run the VisualTestEngine you'll see eight tests for GridBagLayout).
