Regarding Note(1): AFAIK use of the LGPL for Classpath has complications for users who want to use classpath in an embedded environment. More detailed discussion of this topic can be found here: http://developer.classpath.org/licensing Note2: It is our idea to use JacORB for Classpath and just implement some common code. However I am no expert on CORBA and this may be wrong. Audrius, could you please comment on this? cu Robert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCok1IG9cfwmwwEtoRAmHVAJ9NBt18EwmI77+gHIS0a5qlVhVkTgCfR57a jeU3poYTr4VKRQYSOn2v5rw= =OKY5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
