Quoth Godmar Back on Wed, 9 September:

: On the other hand, you're intending to offer the source back to

It seems worthwhile to point out that compatibility changes
to kaffe jit to conform to the public interface and changes
to conform to non-public interfaces fall into different categories.
Kaffe is untainted by license violation if the former are 
folded in, although no long truly "clean-room" if the author(s)
are jdk licensees, but would be tainted (absent explicit permission
from the jdk owner) by inclusion of the latter.
