First, I'm in favor of adopting a license which allows for static
linking in a manner similar to how we allow dynamic linking now. I
leave it to Cygnus and the FSF to work out the legal details because
IANAL.
I prefer [2]. I feel that [1] does not go far enough to allow for
complete collaboration. I'll examine [2] and send email to the list
on how I think it could be done including layout, etc. Anthony is
obviously far more familiar with libgcj's build than I am so I really
appreciate your input. Hmm, maybe we can even get all this worked out
and done before the end of the year. :)
