I don't think that Red Hat has vetoed anything. I don't think we have
that power.
It's true that when licensing comes up, I argue for what Red Hat
wants. That's because I want Classpath and libgcj to share code as
much as possible. I see the current arrangement as beneficial to both
projects. Over time the quality of both goes up. Debugging work I do
often benefits both projects, including other VMs which happen to use
Classpath.

The LGPL requires that the user be able to relink the application with
a modified version of the LGPL library. This is hard to do when the
code is buried inside your toaster.
