Beyond it being a native executable and pain to invoke
from Java? :-)

Fortunately, this won't be an issue for Jug 2.0 (aka
doomdark.org's uuid generator), since it'll be
dual-licensed (or is licensed, but the formal release
hasn't been done due to my business with Woodstox StAX
parser and other distractions [work]), one of licenses
being ASL 2.0.

The new home page is at:

http://jug.safehaus.org

although transition from the old home page
(http://www.doomdark.org:8080/doomdark/proj/jug

is still work-in-progress. Version 2.0 is same as
earlier ones, with the exception of changed package
name, and improved native code for accessing ethernet
address (which need not be used for generation, but
most people want to use the time+location based method
with real MAC address anyway -- can be passed via
config too)

The change to dual-licensing (one just picks one of 2
jars produced; one has LGPL license, the other ASL 2)
was based on n+1 request on using ASL (*)

The current sources already generate ASL-license
flavour JAR, in case someone wants to test it out.

So, anyway, I think LGPL issue is resolved in case
people want to use Jug. I'll also be happy to help if
necessary.

(*) ... and I grew tired of explaining why I don't
give a flying **** about what FSF says about LGPL and
its linking rule (for me there's no issue with
compatibility, I'm the sole author of the package etc.
etc.). But that's another rant, and I digress. ;-)
