Hi
I am the developer of the Aegis VM (aegisvm.sourceforge.net), which is a JNI-conforming C library released under LGPL. Starting from the next release, we are planning to use GNU Classpath as our class library. However, for classes that requires internal support from the VM (e.g. java.lang.Class, java.lang.ClassLoader, etc etc), we will supply our own independently developed version rather than using those from GNU Classpath. And of course this is easily done by structuring the VM's bootstrap classloading path carefully. My question is, is there any licensing complication here? We won't be packaging Classpath with our library, but merely loading it into cour VM. Is this considered "linking" with the class library, and thereby making it necessary for us to change our license to GPL? Thanks for taking time to answer the question. Thanks also for making Classpath a reality. Philip * Philip W. L.
