Right. My bet goes on dual CDDL: reciprocal and non-reciprocal. The things they dont' care to control go under non-reciprocal CDDL, the ones that do go under reciprocal CDDL. And yes, it won't be compatible with the GPL (because of it will need IP provisions that the GPL doesn't have) and it won't be compatible with the Apache License 2.0 (because it will be reciprocal). As a result, it will be open source, there won't be no community for 3 years and neither Classpath nor Harmony will be able to use a single line of code from it. <shrug> who cares, we have enough momentum to get to certification before their lawyers even finish the above discussions :-) -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
