I think there is a misconception here :)

The source code of my application should *not* be under the GPL  
license. It could be under the license I want it to be. What actually  
xmlvm does is only to transform my code from one "style" to the other   
(i.e. from *.class to *.xml or *.m or whatever)
All rights and license and all that in any case remain to the original  
author.

I think what you probably mean is that, the source code of my  
application *should* be under a GPL-compatible license (not  
necessarily under GPL itself) if I want to *link* it with the Obj-C  
compatibility library (which is also under GPL).
If it's not, it's a GPL violation!


The rest of the text is something I think I understand.
If I got it right, if someone want to use this library to create an  
iPhone application (for example), then he has to do one of the options  
provided in the previous email.
