FW: Revisiting gnu.bytecode and gnu.expr

[Paul Snively]

Folks (but especially MarkM),

I was recently looking at gnu.bytecode and gnu.expr again. I noticed that
they actually have modified the GPL. The affected paragraph is as follows:

"These classes are free software.  You can use and re-distribute a class
without restriction (in source or binary form) as long as you use a
version has not been modified in any way from a version released
by Per Bothner, Cygnus Solutions, or the Free Software Foundation.
You may make and distribute a modified version, provided you follow
the terms of the GNU General Public License; either version 2,
or (at your option) any later version.  (Version 2 is included below.)

For questions, contact Per Bothner, Cygnus Solutions,
1325 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale CA 94089, USA.
By email bothner@cygnus.com or info@cygnus.com."

Does this help with the ability to use gnu.bytecode and gnu.expr in the E
compiler, or do we still need to urge Per to move to the LGPL?

Thanks,
Paul
