You've asserted this many times. You've not provided a convincing explanation for this assertion. You've offered: [1] Eclipse is aggregated with Kaffe. [obviously allowed by the mere aggregation clause.] [2] Eclipse runs on Kaffe. [obviously allowed by the clause which states "The act of running the Program is not restricted, ...] [3] Debian dependencies. [The GPL doesn't seem to have any requirements in this area.] [4] There's would be an os-level association between Eclipse (as a java application) and Kaffe (as a JVM). Except that this association has to do with running the program (which the GPL explicitly states is not restricted), the GPL doesn't seem to have any requirements about this sort of thing. Have you anything else to offer? In particular, do you have any basis whatsoever for claiming that Kaffe+Eclipse falls into either of the categories where the GPL applies? ["the Program" or a "work based on the Program"] If you're simply going to assert that "this is not mere aggregation" and are not going to provide any good reasons for that assertion, what is it that you're contributing to this discussion?
