I am sorry for being unclear. I meant something like checking geronimo
out of CVS, adding the GNU Classpath CORBA classes to it, and putting
the resulting tarball online somewhere for geronimo developers & general
public to peek at.
You don't have to be a member of the Geronimo project to do that, you
patch things up, and put the tarball on your site, and invite geronimo
developers to try it out.

that like all our project,
CORBA is intended to be operated via standard public classes, not via
implementation specific
ones. The alternative CORBA implementation is plugged in just using
property file.
Yeah. I have no idea how geronimo uses CORBA and if that requires
messing with Sun's implementation. Maybe they try to work around Sun's
bugs. I have not yet looked at Geronimo code myself, so my suggestion
above might not work at all, for example.
My thought was based on the observation that many Apache developers see
pragmatism as one of their defining characteristics. Persuading such
developers might be easier with a patched up tarball of geronimo that
includes GNU Classpath's CORBA implementation, than by debating how
licensing works.
Otoh, it may turn out to be a lot of work: as I said, I have not looked
at what Geronimo does with CORBA, so take my proposal with the
obligatory salt mine. ;)
