Sometimes, it's easier to rewrite some code than to convince

Perhaps this is one of those times? I don't wish to negate the
valiant efforts of those trying to resolve the licensing issues,
but I think that as an aside, maybe it'd be worthwhile to start a
class library project all of our own?
We have one started :) The recent IBM and Intel contributions are
exactly that.
In time, if the licensing issues with other projects were resolved,
then there would be nothing to stop us trying to integrate the best
of all worlds, and trying to combine all the available classlib
offerings to provide one open-source free implementation under the
Harmony banner.
Yes - or give users choices. That's my hope for the modularity and
interface work we've been discussing.
I for one haven't had any exposure to the source code of any of the
classlib projects out there currently, I guess that would be a
factor in who would be able to contribute to a new classlib
codebase... The real question though is there any interest in this?
Is there anyone else on this list who like me is itching to write
and contribute some new code to the project, and who would be
interested in starting to implement the class libraries? :-)
