I have never looked at non-free implementations, but I am interested to

my Jikes RVM exposure without permission from the copyright holder of
Jikes RVM.  Is that right?


Same goes here!!  here is the story.. i got two books (Programming the
Java Virtual Machine and Inside the Java Virtual Machine).. i started
reading about VM internals... and i thought i'd download kaffe or
jikes RVM source code to look at their implementation and to play a
little after reading some chapters from one of these books... will i
be able to contribute to harmony vm if i do such?

That is our intention, yes.  We just need to work out how we do this.
