Hello, I would like to include jasmin.jar into the main PyPy source tree. In this way, the only thing that a user would have to install to build and run PyPy-JVM is a recent JDK. Furthermore, it avoids the incompatibilities between different versions of Jasmin (such as the one installed by Debian).
Looking at the license for Jasmin (reproduced below), it seems that this would require a notice such as the following to be added to PyPy's LICENSE file: > License for 'pypy/translator/jvm/src/jasmin.jar' > ================================================ > > The file 'pypy/translator/jvm/src/jasmin.jar' is copyright (c) > 1996-2004 Jon Meyer > and distributed with permission. The use of Jasmin by PyPy does not > imply > that PyPy is endorsed by Jon Meyer nor any of Jasmin's > contributors.

Are there any objections? regards, Niko --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jasmin's license: /* * Copyright (c) 1996-2004, Jon Meyer * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided * that the following conditions are met: * * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions * and the following disclaimer. * * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions * and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the * distribution. * * Neither the name of the Jon Meyer nor the names of its contributors may be used to * endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. * * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED * WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A * PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.
