I don't really see the FSF backing down from the point of view that the users of free software should have the right to modify and release the software and Apache is unlikely to change either, as they have benefited enormously (in terms of brand at least) from letting anyone embed their software without having to divulge the source code to users.
Huh? This is not the issue. Both licenses are compatible with the software being embedded/linked with non-Free code.
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,
The FSF's hope is that GPL3 will be such a license. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://per.bothner.com/
