Hmmm. It is kind of a generic answer. Maybe if we come up with specific
lists of classes and code we can more easily negotiate some terms for
sharing.

Or we can ask the eclipse board again about relicensing (or dual
licensing) SWT under something (L)GPL compatible. Last time we asked
them they seemed positive about that option, but they were going to spin
off in their own Eclipse organization and were looking for a new
"leader". As far as I understood the recent news it looks like they
finally have a new executive director.

Cheers,
