And thanks for your contributions to it! It seems most people involved are convinced that building something around the GNU Classpath core libraries and runtime/compiler interfaces is a sane idea. This is however a group discussion, so maybe someone will come up with some other plan. We will have to wait and see. > Just to confirm: you're saying that the GNU Classpath project will be > relicensing the existing GNU Classpath code base with some sort of > MPL-style license that is GPL and APL compatible. Have I understood > correctly? No. I got some feedback on-list and off-list that there is no need for that. The current exception statement to the GPL used by GNU Classpath is compatible with and acceptable to the Apache community. But the FSF did say that IF the exception statement was in any way unclear THEN they would certainly be willing to clarify it so that there was no obstacle for adoption of GNU Classpath. There currently doesn't seem any need to do this though.
