Sheer FUD I'd call that.  If you don't break the copyright, you don't
have a problem.  That's the purpose and intent of the law.  But I'm
not of the view that commercial organizations define the terms under
which open source development occurs.

: A fork is certainly
: a possibility, but in any case abandoning a clean-room approach is
: nothing but foolishness if Kaffe is to be used as more than a toy.

I'm glad that your mail did not restrict itself entirely to (malicious
and fallacious) personal attack, and made a vague gesture towards
addressing pertinent issues.
