If the gcc backend (VM point of view)/frontend (gcc point of view) is a separate program then this GPL obligation only applies to it, not the client of the backend...
This could also be an intermediate solution. (have something that works with a well defined back-end in GPL, rewrite it in apache license and enhance it later) RB -----Original Message----- From: Rodrigo Kumpera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [arch] VM Candidate : JikesRVM http://jikesrvm.sourceforge.net/ Sure it does, we would be writing just a front-end. Which in case is not an option for Harmony, since such code must be GPL.
