My reading is that it excludes binary-only distribution of modified libraries, which we *do* want to exclude.
Admittedly there seems to be little reason why a systems integrator would
need to make proprietary modifications to a core package such as java.awt (as
opposed to wonka.rudolph.peers), but still I can imagine cases where the GPL
would impose on the system integrator the obligation to provide source code
to anyone who asked.
I think that is a feature, not a bug in the license. We want to encourage people to submit improvements. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bothner.com/per/ _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
