if u people dont mind (dont take me splitter again ;) ) then i would say
while considering Classpath for library we should design in such a way that
if some one want to replace with its own (his own wish thats what OSS is )
then he can do it easily. (and i hope follwowing the TCK it could be
accomplish too as well )



Yes - that's the goal of having a standard interface between the VM and the class library.

I have no intention of forking GNU Classpath. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't because of the license.



Just to be clear on this point, the license for GNU Classpath is GPL+Exception and does not prohibit forking.

I believe you are saying that "forking and relicensing under an Apache
license" isn't currently feasible. The forking block is merely a license
incompatibility in this context (and has a separate discussion).


I think that when referring to "the license" or "the licenses" we should
be more clear as to which licenses we mean otherwise we run the risk of
confusing those unfamiliar with current context.


Best Regards,

Steph
