Dear Board and Incubator PMC, Please read the Proposal[1] and the FAQ[2] for Apache Harmony. We'd like to use GNU Classpath (pure java) for the class libraries. The problems the way i see it is documented in this email[3]. Please review all 3 items and provide guidance on *IF* the pmc/board is going to allow us to go futher down this path and under what conditions. I believe quite a few of us have built a great rapport with everyone working on this from the FSF and other affiliations. Ideally we'd like to get some help to review if the the GPL+Exception is acceptable and the FSF folks explicitly mentioned on the harmony mailing lists that they are willing to work with us on it.
