Hi,
I totally agree with you. Fredom wins over money for me otherwise
I'd be in something else...
My karma is still going and going and going...:-)
Are you familiar with the Maemo project? I think it's a super fair way
of doing business with Open Source. Give and take.
Ok, so if one needs a VM on an obscure platform, they may go for Kaffe,
if the port already exists. That does not make kaffe more portable than
another.

To Philippe,
In the case of Kaffe, see how many platform it
supports(http://www.kaffe.org/ports.shtml). It may not fit your definition
of success(getting rich), but each Free Runtime Hacker gets to decide
her/his own definition. Free Software is not about making money, it is
about guaranteeing the users Freedom. Companies can make money off Free
Software as long as they do not deny the Freedom of the users. Good
Example from Sweden is MySQL AB. By the way, I think you have burnt up
your karma :)

Hej,
I'd like a definition of success.
Thanks for continuously supporting my inquiries.

To Philippe,
It is because there are many people who like Kaffe, and it IS one of the
more successful Free Runtimes around. A little ego is also good for
keeping us going ;)

Hi,
May I ask a crazy question: why does Kaffe still exist?
With all the great open-source VM projects out there, which are
successors to Kaffe if you will, why don't we focus efforts a bit more.
Is it a matter of ego?
I may be somewhat ignorant as I haven't followed Kaffe since 2001, but
perhaps it is time to pick aprt its best parts which don't yet have
equivalents elsewhere, and leave it to the cemetary of the once-famous?
Best Regards,
