Which team member said that? Are you sure you are speaking for all the hackers that work on libre java for Fedora? Sure, if Sun manages to release their full java implementation under the GPL that will be great. But they have already said that won't happen, there are parts they will just not be able to liberate because their "partners" won't let them. Most parts will and I am sure the community will try to help out with liberating the encumbered parts. We had a pretty constructive meeting at Fosdem to discuss some upcoming issues: http://www.fosdem.org/2007/schedule/tracks/gnuclasspathopenjdkdevjam But at the same time we need to support our current users, we care about more platforms than just x86/x86_64 that Sun might deliver. And the work on fedora, gcj and jboss is in full gear: http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2007/03/30/fedora-7-test-3/ http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2007/04/04/gcj-jboss-ahoy/ Cheers, Mark -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
