I am not quite so zealous with regards to free software. There are benefits and risks associated with both free and proprietary software models. Classpath is a project of the FSF and we want to promote free software virtual machines as much as possible, but Classpath, the library, is fairly neutral in this regard. > Sure, this is the easiest way for everybody.

I think Internet Time stopped the day the bubble burst. ;) It probably won't be too bad once the VM interface becomes more stability and releases become more or less bug free due to intense testing against Mauve. -- Brian Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
