<DIV><FONT size=2>If you read the FAQ's @ gnu.org about GPL licence you will
understand that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the key question is "can you program run
independanly"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If yes - then you don't need to be GPL too. Actually your java
program will run</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>with every JVM so it's legal to be licensed ith other than GPL
license.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But if you want to distribute your program together with Kaffe
you must</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>include the sources of kaffe or at least link to the place
where they can be found, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the kaffe license and your modifications to kaffe sources (If
you made any).</FONT></DIV>
