So, given these things and my love for this project, I would really like the FSF to allow the developers to provide Classpath under an Apache compatible license in addition to the current licensing scheme, at least
I would support that idea. However, I don't think we require the FSF's permission. We are the authors of Classpath and therefore retain copyright privledges. So we could collectively decide to release Classpath under any additional license we wanted to. I.e., we granted FSF copyright but not exclusive copyright. However, getting FSF to do it means not having to chase down every person who's ever contributed to Classpath and getting their permission. Not sure which would be harder: getting FSF's permission, or getting 100% of Classpath contributors' permission. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com
