Okay, I think I see what you're getting at.
Let's follow that discussion for a while because the only thing that
excites nerds more than Microsoft bashing is discussions about the 
licensing issues.

Say you wrote your own java.beans, but you would want to use Kaffe's
java.io/java.lang.  Or you wrote your own java.beans, but you would want 
to use classpath's java.io+lang.

So you have two combos:

a) your java.beans/kaffe's java.io+lang
b) your java.beans/classpath's java.io+lang.

What you're saying is that you could keep your java.beans proprietary
in scenario b), but not in a)?
