[xmlvm-users] status and (L)GPL

[Thorsten S. <co...@pa...>]

Hello,
I have a question about the projects license. From an earlier mail to 
this list I understand that Xmlvm switched to the LGPL. The SF project 
page indicates that, too.

The SVN sources and a site on xmlvm.org is still mentioning the GPL. 
Maybe that should be removed at some point:
http://xmlvm.org/download/
http://xmlvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmlvm/trunk/xmlvm/


Assuming the LGPL is correct: I was wondering if you have any tips on 
how an Xmlvm user can properly follow that license, given the 
requirement for an application user to be able to exchange the library 
part with his own version. I find this hard to achieve on the various 
mobile platforms that Xmlvm (especially with the upcoming C backend) is 
going to be able to reach. Wouldn't the Classpath Exception be more 
suitable?


Also, would you be so kind to provide a rough estimation on when the new 
C backend will be available? I read that there were dependency problems 
if one attempted to translate parts of the OpenJDK resulting in a large 
executable.

Tank you very much for your great work,
Best regards,
Thorsten.
