3. So what do we do? My wish is to give SableVM the benefit of the doubt. If there's something in there they claim is "theirs", we can take it out and replace it. I'd rather do that than argue about it. We should remember that JCVM owes SableVM a debt of gratitude and respect their wishes. In particular there are lots of thread handling and locking algorithms, and these AFAICT are the only two areas of the code that might be considered "not different enough" (though I haven't heard back from them yet exactly what they are claiming), and these are easily replaced. There's also the possibility that SableVM folks could give their blessing and donate their code, but that might have practical difficulties because all the SableVM contributors would have to agree to the new license (though I'm one of them, so my vote would be easy :-)
Thanks Archie. I've asked Etienne for a list of what he finds objectionable so we have a fixed point to work from.
I'll update when I hear back. geir
