Yes, I've been wondering about this. Audrius, are you working on re-implementing these non-free interfaces? That would probably be the best place to start on Classpath's implementation. Then maybe we can get JacORB dual-licensed LGPL/GPL+exception and import it into Classpath directly. Since JacORB is already very mature and widely-used it would be a shame to duplicate all that effort in Classpath, just for licensing reasons.
