I am talking about JITs and both the ones that I know of are GPL'd and copyright the FSF. It is not the GPL per se that bothers me, but the attribution to RMS and the FSF. You are entirely correct that Kaffe is not this way. Thanks for pointing this out. # FWIW, Kaffe is a JVM that also contains a simple JIT. Cool. # On a technical note, I thin it is impossible to develop a high-performance # JIT independent of the rest of the JVM. I believe that the jit interface # as defined by Sun and used by such JITs as TYA and Shujo (sp?) makes # integrating really high-performance JIT hard, if not impossible.
