Hi Marco,

The general question summarized again: How will GCJ react on Sun GPLing Java?


I guess we will learn from it (when it actually happens in full) and try
to work together with them wherever it makes sense. If you haven't seen
it I wrote a little thing about it in the context of GNU Classpath, on
which is the upstream for the core class libraries as used by gcj (and
almost every other free runtime/compiler out there at the moment):
http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/index.php?p=175

Actually I started reading it but didn't finish because I got distracted. I finished now :-) In this case, it looks like GNU classpath will handle adoption of the Sun code and stay the upstream for other projects. Makes sense and sounds great :-)
