I don't know, I think it is new and based on the java.
My main focus will just be get this running with the DOTGNU pnet
module.
we need a place to put it.

The GPL is not a problem. I am not a lawyer, and when requesting the
project, i did not know if your license was BSD or not, I do know that
it looked like it could be converted to GPL, so I did.

I would like to have a disjuct GPL, all of the modules that I want to
link to the introspector should be GPL, but I dont have a problem in
licensing the changes back to you under your license. That would be the
best of both worlds.

At least we can choose to link it into the gcc on the GPL and others
can use it under BSD as well.

This whole issue came up when we wanted  to exchange patches
and source code. The issue is that we need a place were we can work and
share data.

If you want to give use CVS access and a place to put these changes,
then we dont need to do any extra work. I have now a subproject on
sourceforge, and a specific site on savannah. It would not be bad to
keep the savannah site so that the DOTGNU specific changes could be
hosted.

please advise how you want to deal with this.
