Erm

They did choose a license which is _fully_ compatible with gcj (with classpath that is), they
actually _copied_ the classpath license.

As for harmony not being compatible with the classpath license, thats harmonies fault not
SUN's for all the good the apache foundation does they should have recognised the great value
classpath has and for once not force the use of their own license.
