Mark,
This is ideal. I was concerned that we'd be building a new set of
APL-licensed libraries from scratch, after the hard work we've put into
GNU Classpath.
Just to confirm: you're saying that the GNU Classpath project will be
relicensing the existing GNU Classpath code base with some sort of
MPL-style license that is GPL and APL compatible. Have I understood
correctly?
