I do system work and want to use kaffe and java for
system code. I could use C, but I think it would be interesting to use
kaffe. So for example, I was thinking of building a custom loader and
linker and also including interfaces for devices, assembly language etc.
My design thus far
Of course, I think kaffe will benefit if SUN java goes open source. That
would be fun.

Depends on the terms and conditions of the code. OpenSource is not
enough for kaffe, it needs to be a GPL-compatible license. [1]
Fortunately, we don't really *need* Sun's

the people exposed to the JDK sources through a debugger (for example)
are not automatically tainted.
I should explain the debugger bit
