please do post it to the wiki. you can definitely post any source that uses GPL software. the main restriction is that if you produce software that links to a GPL library, you must also publish your source, and any changes that you may make to the GPL library. if you link to a GPL library, you must also release the source as GPL. to do this, just copy the GPL license text from the top of an ICE source file and replace their name with your name in the copyright section. then just paste the source with copyright and license at the top into the wiki the details about using J with ICE and the GPL license is not your problem. people can get a commercial license from zeroc if they want to publish their work. ta, jack.
