Yes, we've seen this work before... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-announce/2000/msg00001.html Cygnus and the FSF were both implementing our own versions of the core class libraries. GNU Classpath was LGPLd at the time. This was unsuitable for Cygnus, who wanted something more like the libgcc or libstdc++ license. In the end, the FSF agreed to change the GNU Classpath license and Cygnus assigned copyright of all of our class library code to the FSF. It was a great move for everybody. AG
