Quoth Alex Nicolaou on Wed, 10 February:
: You're safe. Contribute it to the Classpath project, then import it into
: Kaffe. The LGPL that it is under as part of Classpath allows you to
: convert it to GPL when you bring it under the Kaffe umbrella. Don't
: contribute it the other way around - the licensing does not allow you to
: convert GPL to LGPL.

A propos this quote, I would observe that the owner of the copyright
can release the code under BSD, GPL, LGPL, and commercial licensing
terms simultaneously, if they so desire.
