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.
Of course, but
a) we don't want to fork
b) if we did, we couldn't put software under that license in the Apache repository
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).
Yes :)
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
